An Overview of Nanoparticles: Current Scenario

Abstract

The simplest type of structures with sizes in the nm range will be nanoparticles. Any atom mean that is associated by intensity with other atoms within a 'limited' distance may be claimed to be a nanoparticle in principle. The creation of novel drug delivery systems using nanoparticles has seen an exponential interest in recent years. In terms of high stability, high precision, high drug carrying capability, managed release potential, the possibility of use in various routes of administration and the ability to deliver both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules, nanoparticles may offer significant advantages over conventional drug delivery. The emphasis of this study is on classification, types, synthesis, preparation methods, characterization, use, nanoparticle advantages, and health perspectives.
