Abstract

A unique process which utilizes membrane based vertically grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as nanofilters for a mass transport study is presented here. By using ions, ss-DNA and haemagglutinin as testing molecules of different dimensions, the mass transport function of the CNT membrane is investigated under pressure difference and/or electric field.
