Carbon nanomaterials advancements for biomedical applications

The development of new technologies has helped tremendously in delivering timely, appropriate, acceptable, and reasonably priced medical treatment. Because developments nanoscience, a class nanostructures emerged. Nanomaterials, because their small size, display exceptional physio-chemical capabilities such as enhanced absorption reactivity, increased surface area, molar extinction coefficients, tunable characteristics, quantum effects, magnetic optical properties. Researchers are interested carbon-based nanomaterials due to unique chemical physical properties, which vary thermodynamic, biomechanical, electrical, optical, structural aspects. Due inherent carbon nanomaterials, including fullerenes, graphene, nanotubes (CNTs), nanofibers (CNFs), have been intensively studied for biomedical applications. This article is review the most recent findings about use biosensing, drug delivery, cancer therapy, among other things.
