Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), one of the allotropes of carbon has many applications in various fields of science. This is attributed to the unique properties of CNTs such high tensile strength, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. In order to effectively utilize CNTs in biomedical applications, it is required to functionalize them with various components like acids, polymers, biomolecules and other materials to enhance their biocompatibility and at the same time reduce its cytotoxicity. Once functionalized, they can be employed as agents for targeted drug delivery, cell imaging, vaccine delivery, tumor targeting, and tissue regeneration. This chapter focuses on the effective ways of functionalizing CNTs and incorporating them into scaffolds for regeneration of tissues in muscles, skin, bones, brain, liver, and kidneys.
