Biological Properties of Carbon Based Materials for Biomedical Applications

The study of carbon-based materials (CBMs) have grasped the attention of scientists from various field of science all around the world, like bio-sensing, cancer therapy, drug delivery, etc. This is due to the unique physical, chemical, and biological properties which includes thermal, mechanical, electrical, optical, antibacterial and antimicrobial activity. Various types of carbon-based materials like carbon fiber (CF), carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, carbon black (CB), activated carbon (AC), carbon dots/graphene quantum dots (CDs/GQDs), graphene oxide (GO), etc. have been investigated for various bio-medical applications which shows unique biological properties.
