                         dense films of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The 
                         MWCNT were produced by a microwave plasma chemical vapor 
                         deposition (2,45 GHz) on silicon (Si) and titanium (Ti) surfaces, 
                         using a nickel and iron catalyst respectively. The citotoxicity 
                         tests (MTT assay and cellular adhesion) were evaluated by various 
                         incubations times with Fibroblast L929 mouse cells. The results 
                         show very high cell viability and many layers of cells adhered on 
                         the surface formed by the nanotubes ipos at films grown on Si 
                         surfaces. The MWCNT grown on Ti surfaces presented lower cell 
                         viability and a reduced number of cells on the surface formed by 
                         the nanotubes tips. The different behavior is most probably 
                         related to excess iron contamination present in the case of 
                         titanium substrate, while nickel catalyst is probably enclosed by 
                         the nanotubes.",
