Novel method using low power infrared laser can help in disposal of CNT from human body

摘要

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is increasingly finding numerous applications even in medical and biological markets. In some applications, CNT could be injected or implanted into the human body for intercellular molecular delivery vehicles. CNT may be harmful if it is kept for a longer time in the human body. The toxicity concerns are highly relevant as an increasing number of products containing CNTs are being introduced, and chances of free CNTs getting released into the body during their life cycle has increased mostly during production or disposal.
