Metal nanoparticles and their composites: a promising multifunctional nanomaterial for biomedical and related applications

摘要: Abstract The past few years have witnessed the tremendous potential and development of metal nanoparticles due to their strong optical absorption scattering, an effect called localized surface plasmon resonance, which makes them useful in a wide spectrum biomedical utilities such as imaging, sensing, drug delivery, gene targeting, treatment some cancers. This chapter highlights Au, Ag, Cu currently investigated field health medicine, focusing on individual particularly polymer/organic molecule-functionalized nanoparticles—which is often employed prevent from agglomeration oxidation, well for biofunctionalization. An overview synthesis, properties, modifications these nanomaterials, with particular attention challenges perspectives relevant applications, provided. In addition citation recent advances biomedicine, we draw our study nanosystems that biological or other related applications.
