Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most versatile and powerful analytical tools developed in the last century and have been proven to be a suitable means for the elucidation of structural properties as well as physico-chemical characteristics in chemistry and material sciences. In the first part of this chapter a review is given on the investigation of different types of carbon nanotube (CNT) structures and properties by solution-state NMR, solid state NMR and high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy. (Nuclear) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful noninvasive diagnostic techniques used in clinical medicine for in vivo assessment of anatomy and biological functions. CNTs are unique materials that can be used as a platform for the synthesis of hybrid construct molecules capable of enabling multiple biomedical applications in vitro and in vivo as molecular transporters for drug delivery, and potential new therapeutics. In the second part of this chapter the potential use of CNTs as contrast-enhancing agent for MRI, in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo, is reviewed.
