Abstract
In this examination, we create a functionalized type of carbon nanotube with detergent molecules designed to integrate with cellular membranes via an attractive electrical force between our molecular construct and the membrane itself. Upon examination, the functionality of our construct shows a bond between the carbon nanotube and the detergent molecules. Hopefully opening the door to more advanced studies of cellular interactions.
