Engineered nanomaterials for their applications in theragnostics

Publication date: 25 October 2018Source: Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Volume 66Author(s): Jangsun Hwang, Dohyun Lee, Youngmin Seo, Jaewoo Son, Yeonho Jo, Kyungwoo Lee, Chanhwi Park, Jonghoon ChoiAbstractOwing to their abundant unique properties and ready compatibility with healthcare and therapeutic technology, nanoparticles are becoming one of the most desirable materials in the biomedical industry. Particularly, novel nanoparticles possess distinctive photoluminescence, biocompatibility, antibacterial effect, surface plasmon resonance, and immunogenicity. In this review, we describe the general synthesis, physical properties, cellular activity, and biological applications of popular nanoparticles/nanomaterials (i.e., silicon, gold, iron oxide, and carbon nanotubes), w...
