Abstract
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are a relatively new class of technical materials with a variety of unique and beneficial features. CNT is a revolutionary carrier technology for both tiny and big medicinal compounds. These formulations can be surface engineered and functionalized with predefined functional groups to control their physical and biological characteristics. CNTs have proven potential for cancer therapy along with other target-oriented therapy due to their unique features, such as ease of cell viability, high drug stacking, thermal ablation, and exceptional intrinsic physical and chemical characteristics. Graphite with Sp2 bonded carbon atoms is used for the synthesis of CNT. CNTs are fabricated in a variety of ways, including arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, flame synthesis, and silane solution. The present review summarises methods of preparation, types, and various applications of CNT.
Keywords: Carbon, nanotubes, nanomedicine, graphite, single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
