　　Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted tremendous attention as potential multifunctional drug delivery systems,owing to their enhanced cellular uptake,and high surface area that allows attachment of multiple copies of cell targeting molecules [1].Nevertheless,pristine CNTs are limited in their applications as drug delivery vehicles due to their high hydrophobicity that causes aggregation and toxicity [2].
