Near Infrared Spectral Imaging of Carbon Nanotubes for Biomedicine

  • First Online:
Near Infrared-Emitting Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotubes, as a subset of nanomaterials with near infrared imaging and sensing capabilities, have unique characteristics that are being leveraged for biomedical applications. The combination of a linear scaffold amenable to multiple classes of functionalization and environment-responsive intrinsic bandgap photoluminescence makes SWCNTs powerful building blocks for engineering optical sensors. Whether using these sensors for investigating fundamental biological processes, applying them for drug discovery, developing tools for small-animal pre-clinical research, or refining the material for eventual use in the clinic, there are multiple unmet needs in biomedicine that could successfully be addressed using single-walled carbon nanotubes.
