Abstract:
Nanotechnology, as the most advanced technology today, enables the creation of two types of nanotech tools - nanomaterials (revolutionary new materials) and nanodevices, which are ubiquitous in many areas of engineering, information technology, telecommunications, agro-industry, ecology, military and cosmic industry, etc. The most important application and achievement of nanotechnology are in the field medicine. This led to the development of the specialized branch of medicine that connects nanotechnology and medicine and it is known as nanomedicine. Nanomedicine deals with the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and control of biological systems with the help of nanotechnology. Increased applications of nanomaterials are followed with increased concern about potential risks of their application. The importance, advantages and disadvantages of nanomaterials and their applications are presented in this paper with focus on nanomedicine.
