Carbon nanostructures characterization and applications in medicine

By: Stanciu, Ioana

The book with the title "Carbon nanostructures characterization and applications in medicine" is structured in 4 chapters. Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional carbon structures, with diameters in the nanometer range (1-100 nm) and lengths that can reach several micrometers. They are formed from one or more layers of graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material with a hexagonal structure. Carbon nanotubes are extremely resistant to tensile stress, being about 100 times stronger than steel. They can be conductive or semiconducting, depending on their configuration. This makes them useful in high-end electronics. Carbon nanotubes are excellent thermal conductors and can transport heat along them very efficiently. They are used in fields such asnanoelectronics, nanomedicine, composite materials, hydrogen storage and even in the development of optoelectronic devices. Carbon nanotubes have great potential in materials research and advanced technology, but their production in large and controlled quantities remains a challenge in terms of cost and manufacturing technology.
