Abstract
There is an ever-increasing interest in nanomaterials in view of fundamental understanding and application. Nanoparticles with excellent size-dependent properties are widely used in medicine, pharmacology, biomedical, sensor, and energy applications as well as in industrial applications. Further, applications of nanoparticles have been extended into the fields of drug delivery systems, radiation therapy, proton therapy, bactericides, fungicides, and bioimaging. In addition, nanoparticles can be effectively used as vaccine carriers, adjuvants, and drug delivery vehicles to target precisely infection-related diseases and cancer. Especially, noble metal nanoparticles show enormous potential for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, radiotherapy enhancement, diagnostic assays, thermal ablation, and gene delivery. The current chapter deals with different kinds of inorganic nanomaterials such as metallic inorganic nanomaterials, nonmetallic inorganic nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, nanopolymers, dendrimers, quantum dots, magnetic nanomaterials, composite inorganic nanomaterials, ceramic-based nanomaterials and other recently developed nanomaterials having great prospect for versatile applications in future.
