Carbon nanostructures, namely fullerenes, single and multiwall carbon nanotubes, graphene as well as the most recent graphene quantum dots and carbon nanodots, have experienced a tremendous progress along the last two decades in terms of the knowledge acquired on their chemical and physical properties.  These insights have enabled their increasing use in biomedical applications, from scaffolds to devices.Edited by renowned experts in the subject, this book collects and delineates the most notable advances within the growing field surrounding carbon nanostructures for biomedical purposes. Exploration ranges from fundamentals around classifications to toxicity, biocompatibility and the immune response. Modified nanocarbon-based materials and emergent classes, such as carbon dots and nanohorns are discussed, with chapters devoted from carriers for drug delivery and inhibitors of emergent viruses infection, to applications across imaging, biosensors, tissue scaffolding and biotechnology.

The book will provide a valuable reference resource and will extensively benefit researchers and professionals working across the fields of chemistry, materials science, and biomedical and chemical engineering.

Explore the world’s most powerful materials with nanographene research

Graphene, comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb nanostructural arrangement, is the thinnest and strongest material yet known to science. Despite that this pristine carbon allotrope exhibits a variety of outstanding properties, its zero bandgap prevents its use for some optoelectronic applications. Fragments of graphene, or nanographenes, have shown a great potential to obviate these problems, thus paving the way for the development of chiroptical and optoelectronic properties.

Molecular Nanographenes constitutes a comprehensive overview on the synthesis of these materials and their properties. Covering their widely varying morphologies, their potential applications, and their valuable chiroptical and photophysical features, it also analyzes multiple approaches to obtain nanographene by using both top-down and bottom-up methodologies. The result is a one-stop shop for materials scientists and other researchers interested in these emergent and fascinating materials.
