CHAPTER 1. Carbon Nanostructures: Drug Delivery and Beyond

Carbon nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanodiamonds, graphene quantum dots and carbon dots, are studied in depth as interesting materials in many different applications. In the biomedical field there are many possible uses but the area most explored, so far, is their application as drug delivery systems considering their biocompatibility and versatility. Herein we propose an analysis of some of the most recent literature related to drug delivery with carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, graphene quantum dots and carbon dots and some other appealing possibilities.
