**5.6 Biomedical applications**

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are well investigated for their importance in healthrelated features, especially those which are used in medicine. CNTs provide strength *Recent Progress and Overview of Nanocomposites DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.102469*

for metal matrix compounds, composite matrix compounds, and ceramic matrix compounds. They also improve mechanical properties, *in vitro* cell testing, and biocompatibility (*In vivo*). Composites having flexible mechanical properties could be used in tissue engineering, genetic engineering, medicine, scaffolding, implants, and as fillers of various compounds to expand their mechanical properties. The modified materials, such as plocaprolactum, are used in tissue engineering because of their robustness and adaptability in living tissues, it is the material of choice in the field of biomedical engineering. Strengthened compounds of CNTs not only serve as a bone marrow transplant, but their use in medical systems undoubtedly gave opportunities for advancement for the next generation in the fields of, biologically designed organisms, such as tissue engineering, cell therapy, drug delivery, and diagnostic equipment production. Magnetic sponges based on local, flexible, and readily available NC units are excellent for medical usage.
