Nanomaterials in Pharmaceuticals

Nanomaterials in Pharmaceuticals

Tahmina Foyez and Abu Bin Imran

Nanotechnology is a relatively new but fast-expanding field that uses nanoparticles as analytical tools or as a controlled delivery system for pharmaceuticals. The unique properties of nanomaterials, including thermodynamic, electrical, structural capabilities, and optical make them intriguing options for pharmaceuticals, which substantially impact drug quality. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology, with its nano-engineered tools, is now well-established for drug delivery, diagnostics, prognosis, and disorder therapy. It has the potential to improve materials and medical devices as well as help to introduce new technologies in areas where traditional technologies have reached their limits. The present review focuses on nanomaterials and their applications in pharmaceuticals.
