ABSTRACT

In the large area of nanotechnology, nanocomposites are becoming a prominent area of current research and development. In this review, particularly focused on an overview of nanocomposite, its structure, types, methods of preparation, nanocomposite formulations, evaluation, in–vivo drug release from nanocomposite and the applications of nanocomposites particularly in biomedical and pharmaceutical area are included. Specifically, nanocomposite formulations are used for enhancement of dissolution and bioavailability of poorly aqueous soluble drugs from BCS class–II and IV.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, Nanocomposite, Dissolution, Bioavailability, BCS class–II.
