tailieunhanh - Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacological Potential of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes

The emerging field of nanotechnology is affirming its increasing importance day by day. In this context fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) play an important role. These new allotropic forms of carbon have been discovered in the last two decades, and, since then, they have stimulated the curiosity and interest of physicists and chemists. This book is the first of a new series entitled “Carbon Materials: Chemistry and Physics”, the purpose of which is to analyze the new frontiers of carbon. This volume summarizes the more recent advances on fullerenes and carbon nanotubes facing the biological-medical horizon, an important and interesting area to the scientific community. We will present general overviews of. | CARBON MATERIALS CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS 01 Series Editors F. Cataldo R Milani Volume Editors F. Cataldo T. Da Ros Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacological Potential of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes Springer Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacological Potential of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes CARBON MATERIALS CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS A comprehensive book series which encompasses the complete coverage of carbon materials and carbon-rich molecules from elemental carbon dust in the interstellar medium to the most specialized industrial applications of elemental carbon and its derivatives. A great emphasis is placed on the most advanced and promising applications ranging from electronics to medicinal chemistry. The aim is to offer the reader a book series which not only consists of self-sufficient reference works but one which stimulates further research and enthusiasm.
