Functionalized carbon nanotubes: biomedical applications
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are emerging as novel nanomaterials for various biomedical applications. CNTs can be used to deliver a variety of therapeutic agents, including biomolecules, to the target disease sites. In addition, their unparalleled optical and electrical properties make them excellent candidates for bioimaging and other biomedical applications. However, the high cytotoxicity of CNTs ...
متن کاملFunctionalized carbon nanotubes for potential medicinal applications.
Functionalized carbon nanotubes display unique properties that enable a variety of medicinal applications, including the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, infectious diseases and central nervous system disorders, and applications in tissue engineering. These potential applications are particularly encouraged by their ability to penetrate biological membranes and relatively low toxicity. High a...
متن کاملChemically functionalized carbon nanotubes.
Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes have attracted the attention of many a scientist around the world. This extraordinary interest stems from their outstanding structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. In fact, apart from being the best and most easily available one-dimensional (1D) model system, carbon nanotubes show strong application potential in electronics, scanning probe micr...
متن کاملModelling interwall interactions in carbon nanotubes: fundamentals and device applications.
Carbon nanotubes are the most commonly used 'building blocks' of modern nanotechnology. Their unique mechanical and electronic properties, stability and functionality show great promise in creating functional devices on the nanometre scale. One of the great challenges in using this scale is the ability of physical manipulation of the components, such as their positioning and assembling. Strong ...
متن کاملMechanical properties of functionalized carbon nanotubes.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) used to reinforce polymer matrix composites are functionalized to form covalent bonds with the polymer in order to enhance the CNT/polymer interfaces. These bonds destroy the perfect atomic structures of a CNT and degrade its mechanical properties. We use atomistic simulations to study the effect of hydrogenization on the mechanical properties of single-wall carbon nanot...
