title: [Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for multimodal drug delivery].
abstract: Nanotechnology is a very promising technology with a potential that can revolutionise the pharmaceutical industry. One interesting nanostructure are carbon nanotubes whose application possibilities are restricted by their solubility. Their solubility can be improved by applying endo- and exohedral modifications. The paper offers a review of the hitherto applied methods of functionalisation permitting the use of carbon nanotubes for biomedical purposes.
