Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for effective biosensing and potential biomedical applications

Creator:

Adenuga, Adeniyi A.

Abstract:

Since their discovery in the 1990s, the great potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has made them a focus of many research endeavors, including their application as components of biosensors. The inherent chemical "inertness" of CNTs makes their application to biosensing a challenge. It is necessary to "decorate" their surfaces to...
