Abstract
AbstractWe report on a systematic approach to exploit the potential of filled carbon nanotubes (CNT) to act as sensors that might provide non‐invasive temperature control in biological systems on a cellular level. In this case the temperature is detected by measuring NMR parameters on the filling materials. The beneficial feature of a carbon nanotube is to provide protection of both (i) a human body against toxic adverse effects from the filling material and (ii) a filling material against chemical and biochemical exposure. The feasibility of this concept has been demonstrated on the example of the temperature‐dependent NMR frequency and relaxation time measured on the CNT filled with the appropriate sensor materials.
