A DETAILED REVIEW ON THE TYPES AND APPLICATIONS OF NANOPARTICLES OR NANOMEDICINE

Abstract

Nanoparticles are an emerging field of modern science. It is solid colloidal particles. They consist of micro molecular materials in which the active ingredients is dissolved, entrapped or encapsulated or adsorbed or attached. The size of nanoparticles ranges from 1 to 100 nm. It can be synthesized chemically or biologically. Nanoparticles are used in various purposes like in drug delivery, in food, in medicine, in cosmetics etc. There are lots of advantages of nanomedicine over other dosage form. Nanoparticles show high solubility as well as higher bioavailability on site of action. This review focuses on synthesis, biosynthesis, types, application, advantage, disadvantage, limitation of nanoparticle.
