Ch.7: Unification of Biosciences and Nanotechnology – Properties, Synthesis, Application, and Regulatory Issues

ABSTRACT:- During the last few years, nanotechnology became one of the most investigated and explored field given the fact that nano based materials proved to have interesting, challenging, and promising characteristics Suitable for various biomedicalapplications. The field was subject to a growing public controversy and awareness in the early 2000s and in turn the beginnings of commercial applications of nanotechnology. The newly emerging field of Nano-biotechnology is the unification of nanotechnology and biotechnology and this hybrid discipline can mean making atomic-scale machines by imitating or incorporating biological systems at the molecular level or studying the natural structural properties atom by atom.This chapter illustrates the extensive application of nanotechnology in the medical field. Some nanoparticles are being used as diagnostic instrument, targeted medicinal or pharmaceutical product, tissue enginerring, biomedical implants etc.
