This thesis focuses on the evolution of the physicochemical properties of two carbide nanoparticles, SiC and TiC, in contact with biocompatible dispersants. The rationale is based on the fact that several of the toxicological evaluation required manipulations and / or interactions cause changes in the nanoparticles physicochemical surface. These changes call into question the relevance of existing tests and, to some extent, may raise unfounded concerns about their potential toxicity to humans and the environment. The nanoparticles were dispersed in aqueous dispersants following various dispersion protocols; later, these dispersions were mixed with culture medium or biological medium in the particular conditions of in vitro assays. This thes...
