摘要: The term ‘nanotechnology’ refers to technology that deals with structures and devices of nanometer (10 – 9 meter) size. It involves the design, fabrication utilization materials nanoscale dimensions (Gao & Xu, 2009). resulting nanomaterials exhibit chemical, physical biological properties can differ significantly from those bulk material. These products be categorized into metals, ceramics, polymers or composite have features. limited size their particles leads a high surface area volume ratio, improved solubility, multifunctionality, electrical heat conductivity catalytic activity. (El-Sadik et al., 2010). All these phenomena allow give nanoparticles interact systems at cellular molecular levels. interactions enhance biomedical applications nanotechnology giving great promise for improving disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment in particular tissue regeneration (Murthy, 2007).
