PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOMATERIALS: A REVIEW

Vaidehi Gurjar*

ABSTRACT

Today nanotechnology has become a top research field in the world. The present review covers classification and different applications of nanomaterials including catalysis, water treatment, sensors, energy storage and Nano medicine, as well as their positive and negative impacts on the environment. Increased attention needs to be directed towards the new nanomaterials because the development of knowledge of these nanoparticles is still in its infancy. Nanoparticles are ultra-small particles with exceptional properties, but some nanoparticles and nanomaterials also exhibit harmful properties. This is the reason why we must continue to study them and their potentially damaging effects.

Keywords: Nanomaterials, Blood brain barrier, Microbial cell, Nano bioremediation.
