The nano-bio interactions of 1D and 2D carbon nanomaterials (COOH-functionalized carbon nanotube (CNT-COOH), graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) and porous graphene oxide (PGO)) with blood plasma proteins (albumin, globulin and fibrinogen) are evaluated in this work. It is demonstrated that these associations may be significantly influenced by the density of the oxygenated functionalities of the nanomaterials and to a certain extent, their dimensionality and surface area. This work offers a broad insight into the carbon nanomaterial–plasma protein interactions and provides a strong basis for the design and use of low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials for a wide variety of biological and biomedical applications.
