Nanoparticles in Pharmaceutical Science

Abstract

The development of particle size reduction technologies over the past 30 years has transformed them from a research approach to an established commercial drug delivery platform. Since a growing number of research substances for poor aqueous solubility, nanotechnology methods have gained particular significance. The term "nanotechnology" refers to the development and application of materials whose components are, by standard, no larger than 100 nm in size. Nanotechnology investigates structural behavior at the molecular, and sub-molecular levels. It has the potential to transform several medical and biotechnology instruments and processes into ones that are transportable, less expensive, safer, and simpler to use. Nanoparticles are used for a variety of things, including medical treatments, energy storage in solar and oxide fuel batteries, optical devices, bactericidal agents, electronic devices, biological labeling, and in the treatment of some cancers. They are also widely incorporated into a variety of materials used in everyday life. This paper seeks to provide an overview of nanoparticles, paying attention to the current innovations and future aspects.
