Abstract
To determine their basic characteristics, CNTs employed in pharmaceutical applications entail to be characterized widely. Purity, size, diameter, shape, solubility, electromechanical characteristics plus thermal conductivity are the characteristic properties (Foldvari and Bagonluri, Nanomed: Nanotechnol Biol Med 4:173–182, 2008).
