Fullerens, Graphenes and Nanotubes: A Pharmaceutical Approach

Fullerens, Graphenes and Nanotubes: A Pharmaceutical Approach shows how carbon nanomaterials, including fullerenes, graphene and, carbon nanotubes are used in the pharmaceutical industry. Whilst there are various books on carbonaceous nanomaterials available on the market, none approach the subject from a pharmaceutical point of view. In this context the book will cover different applications of carbonaceous nanomaterials in pharmaceuticals. The chapters examine different types of carbon nanomaterial, and explore how they are used in applications such as cancer treatments, pulse sensing and prosthetics. This is a valuable reference resource for researchers working in the areas of carbon materials, nanomaterials, and pharmaceutical science, as well as those working in R&D in these sectors. Explains how the unique properties of carbon-based nanomaterials allow them to be used to create effective drug delivery systemsDiscusses how carbon-bases nanomaterials should be prepared for use in pharmaceutical applicationsDiscusses the relative toxicity of a range of carbon-based nanomaterials, and consideders the safety of their use in different types of drugs INDICE: 1.
