Abstract

Porous carbon materials have recently received interesting attention for their applications in various biomedical and bioscience fields. These porous materials possess unique properties such as high surface area, ordered porosity, good biocompatibility, easy functionalization, and high thermostability making them promising candidates. This chapter presented the latest advances in the use of porous carbon materials in terms of biosensors, medical diagnostics, and drug delivery applications. The authors admit that the choice of the synthesis and the surface functionalization protocols is directly related to the requirements of the application. Based on this, the design of porous carbon-based platforms is discussed to give to the readers more visibility.
