Carbon Nanotubes as Novel Drug Delivery System

Due to its superior qualities for usage in numerous applications, whether in medicine or other future scope, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the subject of the most studies in the 21st century to date. Due to their tiny size and remarkable optical, electric, and magnetic capabilities when used alone or in combination with metal additions, these compounds have grown in popularity across a variety of fields. They are frequently explained as a graphene sheet that has been rolled up into a cylindrical shape. These are, in fact, graphene cylinders with an end-containment pentagonal ring around their circumference, measuring roughly 12 nm. The fields of medication transport, diagnostics, and biosensing all have potential therapeutic uses for carbon nanotubes. There are numerous ways to make CNTs, including chemical vapour deposition, laser ablation, and arc discharge. Because of their distinctive physical, thermally, electrical, and optical capabilities, CNTs are used in a variety of applications. They are utilised in fields such as biomedicine, drug delivery systems, detectors, implants, tissue engineering, and cancer prevention.
