Carbon nanohorns (CNHs) resembling a single-layered graphene sheet wrapped in a conical shape can be chemically modified in order to immobilize, carry, and release biologically active molecules. Here, we describe the major routes for the preparation of CNH-based drug delivery platforms, via covalent coupling and encapsulation, proficient to facilitate the design of sophisticated drug nanocarriers.
