Abstract
Functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with carboxyl group (–COOH) and oxaliplatin (OX) was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy, high performance liquid cromatography (HPLC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Encapsulation efficiency was computed and in vitro behavior regarding MDA-MB-231 cells was studied. Keywords: carbon nanotubes, oxaliplatin, encapsulation, FTIR, TEM
