Abstract

During past few decades, CNTs have been attracted a lot of attentiveness owing to their capability to deliver drug molecules to a particular site in a controlled manner (Luo et al., Biomaterials 32:6316–6323, 2011). Consequently, these are used to provide both controlled drug delivery as well as genetic substances like DNA, genes, and antibodies.
