Abstract

Nanotechnology is growing fast, effectively and innovatively to rely on the requirements of human. The nanotechnology has significantly enlarged the potential and promising features of materials science in medicine. Designing novel nanostructured carriers with the ability to release the diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents at predetermined, zone in a controlled manner has been one of the most appealing features of nanotechnology in biomedicine. This chapter discusses the importance of nanomaterials of different dimensions, shapes, architectures, size, and chemistry in delivery of different payloads. Moreover, nanocarriers targeted as responding to the endogenous/exogenous stimuli and new emerging elaborate self-propelling carriers are outlined. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
