Wakaskar RR (2017) Types of Nanocarriers–Formulation Method and Applications.

Abstract

Colloidal nanocarriers have provided a plethora of opportunities in terms of advancing the drug delivery field based on their immense biocompatibility, size, target-specific delivery and increased efficacy. The current passage entails an in-depth discussion regarding the varied types of nanocarriers such as dendrimers, polymeric micelles, solid-lipid nanoparticles along with their conventional formulation strategies and their specific applications. These nanoparticles have been extensively researched, till date, for their different diagnostic as well as therapeutic uses and their recent developments have been covered in this short review.
