Physiochemical properties. a Schematic image of a carbon nanotube (CNT) covalently conjugated with doxorubicin (DOX). b Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images of the CNT conjugated with DOX (CNT-DOX). The scale bar is 20 nm. c Mean hydrodynamic sizes (147 ~ 247 nm) and electrical potential of CNT-DOX shows negative potential in aqueous condition. An increase in the average size of a DOX conjugation on CNT and possesses negative charge. d UV–vis results show the DOX peak at 480 nm, as identified in CNT-DOX. e FT-IR peaks of CNT, DOX, and CNT-DOX. Several identical peaks were observed and analyzed for DOX and CNT-DOX
