This book explores the potential of multi-functional carbon
nanotubes for biomedical applications. It combines contributions
from chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and medicine. The
complete overview of the state-of-the-art addresses different
synthesis and biofunctionalisation routes and shows the structural
and magnetic properties of nanotubes relevant to biomedical
applications. Particular emphasis is put on the interaction of
carbon nanotubes with biological environments, i.e. toxicity,
biocompatibility, cellular uptake, intracellular distribution,
interaction with the immune system and environmental impact. The
insertion of NMR-active substances allows diagnostic usage as
markers and sensors, e.g. for imaging and contactless local
temperature sensing. The potential of nanotubes for therapeutic
applications is highlighted by studies on chemotherapeutic drug
filling and release, targeting and magnetic hyperthermia studies
for anti-cancer treatment at the cellular level.
