Blood plasma protein adsorption on carbon nanomaterials. Adsorption of plasma proteins: (a, b) albumin, (c, d) globulin and (e, f) fibrinogen on different carbon nanomaterials. (a, c, e) Adsorption of plasma proteins: (a) albumin, (c) globulin and (e) fibrinogen, on carbon nanomaterials as a function of protein concentrations. The Langmuir–Freundlich adsorption isotherm was used to model the obtained data, showing the saturation of protein adsorption on carbon nanomaterials. (b, d, f) Relative comparison of the adsorption of: (b) albumin, (d) globulin and (f) fibrinogen, on various carbon nanomaterials. For particular samples under comparison, statistically significant differences for P<0.05 and 0.01 were represented by * and **, respectively. The two-tailed Student’s t-test was used for all statistical analyses.
