Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials have special features like nanosized diameter, hollow and layered structures, high surface area to volume ratio, ultralight weight, and capacity to carry the payload. These are being used in optical devices, electrical materials, composite materials, electromagnetic devices, biomaterials, and biomedical devices. These are also a promising carrier for many drugs, dyes, genes, DNA, and antibodies. The use of carbon-based nanomaterials like carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), quantum dots (QDs), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTS) in drug delivery has gained immense attention. Further, these materials have been designed for controlled drug release using stimuli-responsive strategies. This chapter highlights some applications of carbon-based, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials. It covers diverse carbon-based nanomaterials which are responsive to pH, temperature, light, redox, enzyme, and current.
