Specifically modified carbon black nanoparticles (CBNP) by gas-phase synthesis

Carbon-Black-Nanoparticles (CBNPs) are large-scale products which find versatile use in the tire industry as well as printer ink manufacturing. Although they are being used widely, recent studies show a suspicion that CBNPs can be triggering cancer. The sub-project 1: "Specific modified CBNPs by gas-phase synthesis" of the joint project: "Cell type and lung region-specific toxicological effect of synthetic CBNPs in pulmonary exposure – Establishment of a human predictive test procedure", dealt with the synthesis, modification, characterization and suspension of carbon black nanoparticles. In order to investigate…
