Abstract:In this chapter, the biological applications of magnetic carbon nanotubes are studied. While intrinsically magnetic due to their structures, carbon nanotubes are sensitive to only high-power magnetic fields. By combining them with magnetic nanoparticles, the materials obtained are much more responsive to magnetic fields. After describing the synthesis of these magnetic carbon nanotubes, we will detail their different biological applications. These applications will be separated into three main categories accor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
