Summary: | Carbon materials and their hybrid metal composites have garnered significant attention in biomedical applications due to their exceptional biocompatibility. This biocompatibility arises from their inherent chemical stability and low toxicity within biological systems. This review offers a comprehensive overview of carbon nanomaterials and their metal composites, emphasizing their biocompatibility-focused applications, including drug delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, and tissue engineering. The paper outlines advancements in surface modifications, coatings, and functionalization techniques designed to enhance the biocompatibility of carbon materials, ensuring minimal adverse effects in biological systems. A comprehensive investigation into hybrid composites integrating carbon nanomaterials is conducted, categorizing them as fullerenes, carbon quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. The concluding section addresses regulatory considerations and challenges associated with integrating carbon materials into medical devices. This review culminates by providing insights into current achievements, challenges, and future directions, underscoring the pivotal role of carbon nanomaterials and their metal composites in advancing biocompatible applications. |
