描述了通过逐层沉积组装的 SWNT 材料进行神经刺激的第一个示例（见图）。纳米管涂层中横向电流的激发导致电压依赖性Na'离子通道的打开。实验观察结果表明，利用单壁碳纳米管/聚合物多层材料设计可植入生物医学设备，用于神经元假体、疼痛管理和肌肉刺激的可能性。
The first example of neural stimulation through a SWNT material assembled by layer-by-layer deposition is described (see figure). Excitation by lateral currents in the nanotube coating results in the opening of voltage -dependent Na' ion channels. The experimental observations indicate the possibility of engineering of implantable biomedical devices from SWNT/polymer multilayers to be used for neuron prosthesis, pain management, and muscle stimulation.
