Applied Nanotechnology

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the process by which components, processed and manipulated at the nanoscalecomprising from 1 to 100 nanometers, try to mimic biological structures. It is a highly promisingfield, where disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and medicine interact withnanostructured materials offering potential solutions in multiply practical applications, applied firstof all in theranostic (diagnostic and therapeutical applications) drug delivery, and tissue engineeringbut the use of synthetic and natural biomaterials.
