Nanogels are extremely versatile and hydrophilic materials that have a wide range of potential applications within the medical field. Research in this area has found that nanogels are particularly useful as therapeutic drug carriers and can also enhance medical diagnostics when used as carriers for novel imaging probes and contrast agents.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that have been decorated with nanoparticles are effective biological and chemical sensors, photovoltaics, electronic conformal thermal interface substances, and surfaces for heterogeneous catalysis. The particle structure of the sidewalls of the CNT has an effect on the performance and properties of metal-nanotube hybrids for these types of applications.
