Abstract:The cytotoxicity of Ionic Liquids (ILs) has been raising attention in the context of the biological and environmental impact of their vast field of applications. It is ascertained that the cell membrane is the main target of ILs when they interact with microorganisms, cells and bacteria; nevertheless, studies on the micro- and nanoscale aimed at better understanding the fundamental mechanisms of toxicity of ILs are lacking. In this work, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the impact of room-t… Show more
