This study describes the conversion of sugarcane bagasse agricultural waste into valuable carbon nanostructures using a simple muffle furnace under controlled heating conditions. The resulting materials, graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes, were investigated for their potential application as drug carriers for controlled drug release. The findings demonstrated that both materials are capable of providing sustained and regulated drug release, offering an alternative to conventional drug administration methods that deliver the full dose at once. Notably, carbon nanotubes exhibited a higher drug-loading capacity than graphene oxide, highlighting their superior performance and potential suitability for future drug delivery systems.
