This suggests that a synergy may exist to optimize CNT safety whilst enhancing the delivery efficiency of "hitchhiking" therapeutic molecules. Membrane permeation was rapid and spontaneous for both pristine and oxidized CNTs when unconjugated. This was slowed upon addition of a noncovalently attached peptide surface "sheath", which may be an effective way to slow CNT entry and avert membrane rupture. The CNT conjugates were observed to "desheath" their peptide layer at the bilayer interface upon insertion, leaving their cargo behind i
