Lysozyme/single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions are of considerable interest to the biological, nanomaterial, and materials science and engineering research communities.

Lysozyme/single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions do not follow lyotropic phase behavior. Lysozyme causes depletion induced aggregation.

Even at low concentrations, lysozyme causes deviation from the rheological behavior expected for rigid-rods such as SWNT.

Dispersion gelation and viscoelasticity is dominated by lysozyme concentration.

Steady shear and inherent viscosity are dominated by SWNT concentration.
