Abstract
► We investigate the cytotoxicity of pristine and functionalized MWCNTs. ► Pristine MWCNTs show considerable amount of cell killing effect. ► Functionalized MWCNTs induce serious inflammatory responses. ► Physicochemical properties of the MWCNTs are the key factors in the toxicity of MWCNTs. ► Pro-inflammatory potential of functionalized MWCNTs necessitates improvement.
