Trends of Carbon Nanotubes in Medicine Nanomedicine is the emerging technologies and a branch of nanotechnology finding applications in healthcare. Several countries are pursuing active research programs in nanomedicine to explore novel healthcare solutions to address specific healthcare needs of the society. It is anticipated that in the next 5 years or so, several nanomedicine-based products shall reach the market. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), discovered by Japanese scientist Iijima in 1991, and it is now considered to be a top class subject in researches as well as in several industrial areas. The nanomaterials are allotropes of carbon which is made of graphite, and have been constructed in cylindrical in shape and few nanometres in diameter and several millimetres in length. Their structural, mechanical, and electronic properties are due to their size and mass, their incredible mechanical strength, and their high electrical and thermal conductivity. Fir...
