Abstract

In the recent decade, the fabrication of nanoparticles and exploration of their properties have attracted the attention of all branches of science such as physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers, and even medical doctors. Interests for nanoparticles arise from the fact that their mechanical, chemical, electrical, optical, magnetic, electro-optical, and magneto-optical properties of these nanoparticles are completely different from their bulk properties and the predetermined differences are depended on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. There are numerous areas where nanoparticles are of scientific and technological interest, specifically for medical community, where the synthetic and biologic worlds come together and lead to an important concern for design of safe nano-biomaterials. In this chapter, we review and discuss the major biomedical applications of nanoparticles.
