• repulsive-sediment interactions with a negatively charged glycocalyx [12]. Using 24 nm Au NPs with different surface charges, Wang et al. supported their hypothesis in in vitro and in silico studies [12]. Also, the concentration of NPs is an important factor regarding controlled leakiness. Au NPs of the

• . Lee et al. recorded similar observations after examining the leakiness of human skin microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) after exposure to citrate-stabilized Au NPs of different sizes and concentrations. Using in vitro, ex vivo, and in silico studies, they confirmed the interaction mechanism of

Generally, cracks initiate at the geometry center and the nanosheet experiences significant out-of-plane deformation before the

Graphite and diamond are the two common

• chronic health effects of ENMs have not been conclusively identified in human populations [6], animal studies suggest that the ENMs exhibit mechanisms of respiratory toxicity similar to those of ambient ultrafine particles (UFPs) [7]. Furthermore, in vitro and in silico studies [8][9] suggest that
