The book highlights established research and technology on current and emerging trends and biomedical applications of functionalized carbon nanotubes by providing academic researchers and scientists in industry, as well as high-tech start-ups, with knowledge of the modern practices that will revolutionize using functionalized carbon nanotubes.
Nanotechnology suggests fascinating opportunities for a variety of applications in biomedical fields, including bioimaging and targeted delivery of biomacromolecules into cells. Numerous strategies have been recommended to functionalize carbon nanotubes with raised solubility for efficient use in biomedical applications. Functionalized carbon nanotubes have unique arrangements and extravagant mechanical, thermal, magnetic, optical, electrical, surface, and chemical properties, and the combination of these features gives them widespread biomedical applications. Functionalized carbon nanotubes are relatively flexible and interact with the cell membranes and penetrate different biological tissues owing to a “snaking” effect, therefore both the pharmacological and toxicological profiles of functionalized carbon nanotubes have gathered much attention in recent times.
This book covers a broad range of topics relating to carbon nanotubes, from synthesis and functionalization to applications in advanced biomedical devices and systems. As they possess unique and attractive physical, chemical, optical, and even magnetic properties for various applications, considerable effort has been made to employ functionalized carbon nanotubes as new materials for the development of novel biomedical tools, such as diagnostic sensors, imaging agents, and drug/gene delivery systems for both diagnostics and clinical treatment.

Therefore, tremendous progress continues to be made in this field, as is reflected in the rapid growth in the amount of scattered literature available.
This book summarizes the recent progress and developments in functionalized carbon nanotubes-based biomedical devices and systems at both the experimental and theoretical model scale. It covers a broad range of topics relating to carbon nanotubes, from synthesis and functionalization to applications in advanced biomedical devices and systems. The book is logically and eloquently designed to capture an inclusive picture of functionalized carbon nanotubes-based biomedical devices and systems, thereby offering the reader a concentrated up-to-date reference source. It is divided into two parts. An overview of functionalized carbon nanotubes is presented in Part 1, in which Chapter 1 introduces functionalized carbon nanotubes and Chapter 2 describes their synthesis and characterization. Then various types of functionalization of carbon nanotubes are summarized in Chapter 3, after which their role in innovative medical technology is explored in Chapter 4. Different current and emerging biomedical applications of functionalized carbon nanotubes are covered in Part 2, beginning with Chapter 5, which discusses functionalized carbon nanotubes in biosensing. Then their use in drug delivery systems and gene therapy are covered in Chapters 6 and 7, respectively. The applications of functionalized carbon nanotubes in cancer therapy and diagnosis are discussed in Chapter 8, and recent advances in their use for biomedical imaging in Chapter 9. Functionalized carbon nanotubes for bone tissue engineering are discussed in Chapter 10, and their use in biomimetic/bioinspired systems in Chapter 11. Finally, Chapters 12 to 15 discuss the application of functionalized carbon nanotubes in tissue engineering, cell tracking, disease treatment, and antimicrobial activity, respectively.
Audience:
The book is intended for a very broad audience of researchers and scientists working in the fields of nanomaterials, nanomedicine, bioinspired nanomaterials, nanotechnology, and biomedical application of nanomaterials.
