Organic Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes With Some pharmaceutical Agents

Water and organic solubilization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been previously achieved by functionalizing the SWCNT with various organic functional groups [1]. The grafting of drugs having amine and alcohol moieties to the SWCNT were attained by initially produced acyl chloride at carboxylic groups’ sites in SWCNT which subsequently mixed with chemotherapeutic agents to afford the relevant amide and ester respectively
