Transport and retention of fullerene-based nanoparticles in water-saturated porous media

Commercial production and use of carbon-based nanomaterials will inevitably lead to the release of nanoscale compounds into to the environment. While fullerene nanoparticles, such as nC60 and multi-wall nanotubes (MWNTs), exhibit toxicity to certain microbes and human cell lines, their transport and...
