title: Multiwalled carbon nanotube-doxorubicin supramolecular complexes for cancer therapeutics.
abstract: Multiwalled carbon nanotube aqueous dispersions using block copolymers are able to form supramolecular complexes with the aromatic chromophore and anticancer agent doxorubicin via pi-pi stacking and enhance its cytotoxic activity.
