ABSTRACT
In recent years, many scientists worldwide have focused attention on the promising use of microtechnology- and nanotechnology-mediated platform for biomedical application, by these, carbon nanomaterials having excellent physicochemical properties and ultralightweight is known as carbon nanotubes or buckytubes measured on the nanoscale, emerged as valuable delivery systems. Carbon nanotubes having a beehive-shaped tube are attractive nanostructures. It also serves as multifunctional transporters in biomedical applications due to their extraordinary properties of drug delivery, by manipulating their surfaces. This chapter describes the history, classification and promising applications of multifunctional carbon nanotubes in drug delivery.
