Abstract

Unique combination of strength, conductivity, chemical versatility, nanomaterials in particularly in the fields of bioimaging and cancer therapy. properties various overview, delve into CNTs bioimaging and therapy, focusing on how their distinct characteristics facilitate advanced techniques detection, treatment. primary the key difference between these two types is the amount of graphene with SWCNTs being composed sheet, have This structural variation significantly influences the CNTs, optical characteristics. These properties can be tailored by modifying the synthesis methods or functionalizing the surface of the nanotube's applications. enables them carry large amounts of drug molecules, imaging agents, or other therapeutic payloads. Their small size, in diameter, allows them to or enhancing their effectiveness in drug delivery and bioimaging. Additionally, thermal and which makes photothermal and electrochemical therapies. Bioimaging is a critical technique in modern medicine, allowing visualization cells, Accurate imaging is essential for early diagnosis, assessing treatments.
