Unlocking the Potential of Carbon Nanotubes in Biomedical Science and Human Health

Recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology, biotechnology, and materials engineering have propelled the development of nanomaterial applications. Among these, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNT-based systems have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications, thanks to their unique chemical, physical, and biological properties.

Despite their potential, CNTs also raise concerns about their biosafety due to inherent properties. This comprehensive volume delves into the practical applications of carbon nanotubes in biomedical science and human health, exploring the synthesis, properties, modification, and recent progress of CNTs and their applications in:

• Biosensing
• Cancer treatment
• Antibacterial therapy
• Tissue engineering
• Targeted drug delivery
• Toxicity studies

The book also examines the potential and promise of carbon-based nanomaterials for a wide range of applications, while addressing the challenges in synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials and provides strategies to overcome them.
