Abstract
We report the preparation, properties and biocompatibility of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) disk. Sintered Multi-walled carbon nanotube disk was fabricated by spark plasma sintering the MWCNT and phenol resin mixture by using the Spark Plasma System (SPS) under 1273 K and 80 MPa in vacuum. As the concentration of phenol resin in the sintered MWCNT disk increases, the bending strength and Young's modulus increased. However, the inflammatory response was observed in the tissue exposed to the surface of the sintered MWCNT disk. This was believed due to the residual phenol resin in the disk. The result indicates that the preparation of phenol free MWCNT disk is a must to be used as biocompatible material.
