Abstract:
1. A nano-enhanced patch to be worn on a tissue and for substance transfer between the patch and a tissue, comprising: a substrate; and an array of carbon nanotubes having two ends, the carbon nanotubes being anchored within the substrate with at least one end protruding from the substrate, the carbon nanotubes being grouped in clusters such that each cluster effectively functions as a needle, the protruding carbon nanotube clusters being arranged as a plurality of rings with all of the nanotubes of the clusters being in a ring periphery, whereby the protruding carbon nanotubes allow the transfer of a substance through the substrate and into the tissue.
