Applications of Carbon Nanotubes in Drug Delivery

Kaur, Jashandeep, Gill, Gurlal Singh, Jeet, Kiran·2019·Characterization and Biology of Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery

Abstract

Abstract Nano-based materials have turned out to be very promising in generating newer medical applications. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit outstanding intrinsic physical and chemical properties that have been intensively explored for versatile applications in the past few years. Nanotubes are classified as single-walled and multiwalled nanotubes. There are various methods of production of CNTs such as arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, flame synthesis method, and silane solution method. Parameters such as surface charge, size distribution, structure, surface area, surface chemistry, and agglomeration state, as well as purity of the samples, have a considerable role in the reactivity of CNTs. CNTs hold good for desired drug delivery systems for gene transfer, treatment of cancer, transdermal, and DNA applications. This chapter summarizes the drug delivery applications of CNTs. Additionally, a brief about production and properties of CNTs is also presented in this chapter.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
