Carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers have long been investigated for applications in composite structural materials, semiconductor devices, and sensors. With the recent well-documented ability to chemically modify nanofibrous carbon materials to improve their solubility and biocompatibility properties: a whole new class of bioactive carbon nanostructures has been created for biological applications. This review focuses on the latest applications of carbon nanofibers and carbon nanotubes in regenerative medicine.
碳纳米管和碳纤维长期以来一直被研究用于复合材料结构材料、半导体器件和传感器。最近,人们已经很好地证明了可以通过化学修饰纤维状碳材料来提高其溶解性和生物相容性,从而创造出了一整类用于生物应用的新型生物活性碳纳米结构。本文综述了碳纤维和碳纳米管在再生医学中的最新应用。
