Abstract

In recent years, nanostructures have come to represent a new class of materials which have been explored for healthcare-related applications. These nanohybrids are important for their unique physicochemical properties as well as their ultra-small size, tunable optical emission, extremely high surface area to volume ratio, and enhanced mechanical properties. This chapter deliberates different strategies to fabricate nanohybrid structures for biomedical applications. We first describe the fabrication and bioconjugation of hybrid nanostructured materials. Then, we elaborate in detail about the different types of nanohybrid structures including nanoparticles (NPs), micelles, carbon-based NPs, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, metal NPs, and polymeric NPs, etc. Finally, applications of nanostructure scaffolds in different biomedical fields are also discussed.
