Carbon nanotube technology is expected to break through in the biomedical industry

Recently Oxford University research team has opened up the application of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in the biomedical field. For the first time, the research team sealed the contrast agent in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) into carbon nanotubes that were 50,000 times thinner than human hair. Contrast agent is one of the commonly used drugs in interventional radiology. It is usually used to enhance radiography after being injected into human tissues or organs. Because it is mostly non-biological chemicals, it has certain damage to the human body. Contrast agents using carbon nanotube technology will no longer cause harm to the human body, and angiography will be clearer.

Although this technology is in the early stages of testing, it has demonstrated the enormous potential of carbon nanotubes in the biomedical field. Similar techniques can be used to enhance the imaging of nuclear magnetic resonance, or to transport radioactive elements that treat tumor cancer through carbon nanotubes. In the human body. The insiders pointed out that the per capita consumption of X-ray contrast agent raw materials in China (1133.41kg/million people) is only 13.42% of the average American consumption (8445.59kg/million person), and the per capita consumption gap is large. X-ray contrast agent is in China's application rate still has huge room for growth. This also means that the application of carbon nanotubes in contrast agents is very promising.

As a one-dimensional nanomaterial, carbon nanotubes are light in weight, hexagonal structure is perfectly connected, and have many abnormal mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. In recent years, with the deepening of research on carbon nanotubes and nanomaterials, its broad application prospects are constantly being revealed.

Due to its excellent properties, carbon nanotubes have broad application prospects in the fields of information, life sciences, nanomaterials and preparation, and energy resources.
