Abstract
⺠A novel and simple method for the chemical functionalization of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) is presented. ⺠Surface is modified through 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES), thus exposing amino groups on the BNNT walls. ⺠The efficacy of the procedure is assessed with EDS and XPS analyses. ⺠In vitro toxicity and cell up-take have been evaluated.
