Nanotechnology is a dynamically developing field of science, due to the unique physical, chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. Innovative structures using nanotechnology have found application in diverse fields: in agricultural and food industries, where they improve the quality and safety of food; in medical and biological sciences; cosmetology; and many other areas of our lives. In this article, a particular attention is focused on carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene, as well as carbon nanotubes and carbon quantum dots that have been successfully used in biotechnology, biomedicine and broadly defined environmental applications. Some properties of carbon nanomaterials prevent their direct use. One example is the difficulty in synthesizing graphene-based materials resulting from the tendency of graphene to aggregate. This results in a limitation of their use in certain fields. Therefore, in order to achieve a wider use and better availability of nanoparticles, they are introduced into matrices, most often polysaccharides with a high hydrophilicity. Such composites can compete with synthetic polymers. For this purpose, the carbon-based nanoparticles in polysaccharides matrices were characterized. The paper presents the progress of ground-breaking research in the field of designing innovative carbon-based nanomaterials, and applications of nanotechnology in diverse fields that are currently being developed is of high interest and shows great innovative potential.
由于纳米材料具有独特的物理、化学和生物学特性，纳米技术是一个动态发展的科学领域。利用纳米技术的创新结构已在多个领域得到应用：在农业和食品工业中，它们提高了食品的质量和安全性；在医学和生物科学领域；美容领域；以及我们生活的许多其他领域。在本文中，特别关注碳纳米材料，尤其是石墨烯，以及已成功应用于生物技术、生物医学和广义环境应用的碳纳米管和碳量子点。碳纳米材料的某些特性阻碍了它们的直接使用。一个例子是由于石墨烯易于聚集，导致合成基于石墨烯的材料存在困难。这限制了它们在某些领域的应用。因此，为了实现纳米颗粒更广泛的应用和更好的可用性，将它们引入基质中，最常见的是具有高亲水性的多糖。这种复合材料可以与合成聚合物竞争。为此，对多糖基质中的碳基纳米颗粒进行了表征。本文介绍了设计创新碳基纳米材料领域的开创性研究进展，纳米技术在当前正在发展的各个领域的应用具有很高的吸引力，并显示出巨大的创新潜力。
