TL;DR: An empirical kinetic law is proposed that reproduces the observed effects of dissolution time, pH, humic/fulvic acid content, and temperature observed here in the low range of nanosilver concentration most relevant for the environment.

TL;DR: A systematic nomenclature for this set of Graphene-Family Nanomaterials (GFNs) is proposed and specific materials properties relevant for biomolecular and cellular interactions are discussed and several unique modes of interaction between GFNs and nucleic acids, lipid bilayers, and conjugated small molecule drugs and dyes are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply elements of the drug delivery paradigm to nanosilver dissolution and present a systematic study of chemical concepts for controlled release, where the particle contains a concentrated inventory of an active species, the ion, which is transported to and released near biological target sites.

TL;DR: This article proposed a nomenclature for two-dimensional carbons that could guide authors toward a more precise description of their subject materials, and could allow the field to move forward with a higher degree of common understanding.

TL;DR: This work investigates the interactions of graphene and few-layer graphene (FLG) microsheets with three cell types and with model lipid bilayers by combining coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD), all-atom MD, analytical modeling, confocal fluorescence imaging, and electron microscopic imaging and proposed mechanism allows cellular uptake of even large multilayer sheets of micrometer-scale lateral dimension.
