Carbon Nanotubes, Biological Degradation, Single and Multiple-Walled Nanotubes, NanomaterialsAbstract
One of the most significant areas of nanotechnology is carbon nanotubes. Because of their special properties and cylindrical structure, carbon nanotubes are employed in nanotechnology applications. Their many qualities, such as stiffness, strength, and surface area, have generated interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Single-walled nanotubes and multiple-walled nanotubes are the two types of CNTs. There are several techniques for creating CNTs, including chemical deposition, laser ablation, and arc discharge. These nanotubes are employed in drug delivery and diagnostic systems. Because of its many applications in medicine delivery, it is critical to understand the toxicities of carbon nanotubes and how to handle any problems that may arise. Many research have lately focused on the mechanism of carbon nanotube biodegradation. Single and double walled carbon nanotubes must be a safer and more effective way to distribute medications.
