Abstract
Abstract:
Nanotechnology is a major area of research entitling the production of an utmost different class
of materials. There are various types of nanostructures, such as nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nano spores,
nanorods, nanowires, nanoribbons, nanotubes, nano scaffolds, dendrimers, quantum dots, nanospheres,
and nanocapsules. These are size-dependent; thus, altering their size and shape to the nanoscale can alter
their properties. Also, they can be manufactured via various different methods. On a wider scale, in combination,
nanostructured materials and nanotechnology can have profound impacts, including biomedical
applications with advanced research in the delivery of biomolecules, the delivery of drugs, the diagnosis
of cancer, tissue engineering, the detection of biomarkers and imaging. These materials have numerous
applications in fabricating biotechnology, an advanced area of research.
