Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are new nanomaterials with many biomedical applications. CNTs can be utilized to deliver a variety of therapeutic compounds to disease locations, including biomolecules. Because of their exceptional optical and electrical properties they are also attractive candidates for biomedical applications. CNTs can be functionalized with various functional groups to transfer several moieties for simultaneous targeting, imaging, and therapy. The potential ability to penetrate biological membranes and the minimal toxicity is most promising. This chapter deals with the functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) in all medical fields.
