Carbon-Based Nanomaterials in Biosystems: Biophysical interface at Lower Dimensions provides a thoroughly comprehensive overview of all major aspects of carbon-based nanomaterials, their biophysical response, and biotechnological application.  The book articulates the underlying physics, chemistry, and the basic phenomenon of the broad-range carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) with the biological systems particularly the interface analysis. Organized in six sections, it discusses state-of art technological interventions of carbon-based nanomaterials and their application in biomedical sectors in healthcare, food sciences, and technology. The book also highlights the carrying capacity of different CNMs in payload efficiency mechanisms in various biomedical fields. The theranostic efficiency and the safety of various forms of CNMs is assessed. Carbon-Based Nanomaterials in Biosystems is a helpful resource to those specializing in the areas of nanomedicine, bionanomaterials and nanotechnology applications. - Covers major breakthroughs in carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) - Distinguishes between the advantages and disadvantages of carbon-based and non-carbon-based nanomaterials - Discusses the significance of different forms of carbon nanomaterials and their unique physico-chemical and electrochemical properties at the lower dimension - Examines the appropriate methodologies for tackling safety and health-related matters while using carbon-based nanomaterials - Discusses recent developments of various forms of carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and carbon nano-onions
