Abstract
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of material such that it gains certain unique properties not exhibited by its bulk counterparts. Nanomaterials are materials whose components are in the size range of 1 to 100 nm. Nanoparticles possess unique physical and chemical properties that are dependent on their size, shape, structure, and stability. Owing to characteristics not exhibited by the bulk material, nanoparticles have emerged as a novel drug molecule. They are suitable for catalysis, bio-sensing, medical imaging, remediation, agriculture, drug delivery, healthcare, and many other multi-disciplinary applications. They have been extensively used in these fields because of their high stability, solubility, biocompatibility and therapeutic properties (Khan et al. 2017, Jeevanandam et al. 2018). Different metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are being employed in cosmetic formulations, textile industries, and medical and pharmaceutical applications.
纳米技术是对材料的操纵,使其获得某些独特的特性,而这些特性是其大块材料所不具备的。纳米材料是指其成分尺寸在1 ~ 100nm之间的材料。纳米粒子具有独特的物理和化学性质,这取决于它们的大小、形状、结构和稳定性。纳米颗粒由于具有块状材料所不具备的特性,成为一种新型的药物分子。它们适用于催化、生物传感、医学成像、修复、农业、药物输送、医疗保健和许多其他多学科应用。由于其高稳定性、溶解度、生物相容性和治疗特性,它们已广泛应用于这些领域(Khan et al. 2017, Jeevanandam et al. 2018)。不同的金属和金属氧化物纳米粒子被用于化妆品配方、纺织工业以及医疗和制药应用。
