ABSTRACT
This chapter has contributed well to the review of existing research on nanomaterials in medicine. A systematic framework on the review of nanomedicines with nanomaterial applications is explained in the introductory part. Nanomaterial drug delivery system has functional properties that carry drugs to their destination sites. Certain nanostructures can deliver drugs to the targeted sites and attract specific cells and then control release of drugs by crossing the barrier of the living systems when required. At the end of the 20th century, a wonderful new technology, called nanotechnology, has emerged. It is a technology that deals with very small-sized objects and systems by scheming the structures at the nanoscale and also with drawing, categorization, construction, and application of structures and devices at the nanoscale. Most biological molecules and structures are of a similar size to that of nanomaterials. Consequently, nanomaterials can be used for research and applications in both in vivo and in vitro biomedical fields.
