Recent advances in carbon nanomaterials for biomedical applications: A review

Carbon fullerene and nanotube are probable binders to multiple targets of SARS-CoV-2: Insights from computational modeling and molecular dynamic simulation studies

“…Therefore, it is evident that the carbon nanoparticles employed in this study exhibited better binding energy towards the prioritized SARS-CoV-2 targets. There are several studies recently published on the binding potential of carbon-based nanomaterials towards viruses and helps in the detection of viral pathogens or as antiviral agents to viral pandemics including COVID19 ( Reina et al, 2020 ; Shao et al, 2021 ; Serrano-Aroca et al, 2021 ; Jomhori et al, 2021 ; Riley and Narayan, 2021 ).…”

Carbon-Based Nanomaterials: Promising Antiviral Agents to Combat COVID-19 in the Microbial-Resistant Era

“…30 Thus, the direct and intrinsic antiviral activities of the compounds plus the loaded antiviral drug will work synergistically against the viral particles, which may increase the viral destruction potential. 168 Another characteristic feature of the CBNs is based on the immunostimulatory potentials, 169,170 which will derive and propagate the antiviral-cell-mediated immunity, which also works synergistically with the CBN− drugs leading to an increase in the virally infected cells and/or viral particle accessibility for CBNs or CBNs−drug achieving a more efficient viral infection clearance (Figure 9) through many suggested scenarios. 171 The most versatile interesting feature of CBNs is selecting one or more entities of them and functionalizing the selection base on the target function.…”

Laser-patterned carbon coatings on flexible and optically transparent plastic substrates for advanced biomedical sensing and implant applications

“…Surfaces with significantly low wettability are promising candidates for several biomedical applications. [50][51][52] For instance, hydrophobic surfaces can show antithrombotic properties by facilitating the blood flow and reducing the shear stress between the solid and liquid interface. 36,37 They can also exhibit antimicrobial, self-cleaning, and anti-biofouling properties since the low adhesive forces and rough topographies reduce the contact area between an implant and its surroundings.…”
