Their heightened utilization is attributed to their unique properties, such as high specific surface area, enzyme loading capacity, biocompatibility, mass transfer resistance, ease in crossing biological barriers, and ease of functionalization and immobilization. Possessing all these characteristics improves their applicability in biomedical applications including diagnosis, imaging, nanobiomedicine, and drug delivery. The functionalization of CNTs is highly crucial as it improves their biocompatibility and overcomes their limitation of insolubility in water and organic solvents. Functionalization also transforms them into more complex and effective drug delivery and biosensing tools with enormous and specific biomedical properties. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of the various structural and chemical properties, types, and synthesis strategies of CNTs. It also gives an insight into the kinds of functionalization for ameliorating their properties and comprehensively discusses their applications in nanodiagnostic devices and nanobiomedicine, ensuring the audience feels informed and knowledgeable.
