Abstract (summary)
Nanomaterials have been widely studied for many years and
they have also generated an intense scientific interest due to a
wide variety of potential applications in biomedical, optical,
and electronic fields. Nanomaterials have drawn attention
based on the few properties they exhibit like their surface to
mass ratio and the reactivity of their surface. Also, the control
of composition, size, shape, and morphology of nanomaterials is an essential cornerstone for the development and
application of nanomaterials and nanoscale devices. The
selection of material depends on factors such as (i) required
size of nanoparticles, (ii) aqueous solubility and stability,
(iii) surface characteristics as charge and permeability, or
(iv) degree of biodegradability, biocompatibility, and toxicity. This special issue holds 3 reviews and 10 original research
articles.
