White carbon black: a "nanocarrier" in the field of biomedicine

In the field of biomedicine, white carbon black is expanding from traditional industrial materials to high-end life science fields. Its porous structure, high specific surface area, and good biocompatibility make it an ideal carrier for drug delivery systems.


Research has shown that through surface modification, white carbon black can achieve precise controlled release of drug molecules. For example, loading anticancer drugs into mesoporous silica nanoparticles can enrich them in tumor tissues through targeted modification, significantly reducing systemic toxicity. In addition, white carbon black can also be used as a vaccine adjuvant to enhance immune response and improve vaccine protection efficiency by adsorbing antigen molecules.


In the field of diagnosis, functionalized derivatives of white carbon black can be used for the preparation of biosensors. Its surface hydroxyl groups can bind to biomolecules such as fluorescent probes and antibodies, achieving high-sensitivity detection of disease biomarkers. With the rapid development of nanomedicine, white carbon black is expected to play a greater role in precision medicine.
