POLYMERIC NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Nanotechnology is considered to be one of the most popular science areas in recent years which integrate engineering with the basic sciences such as biology, chemistry and physics that nanomaterials manufactured with nanotechnology exhibit superior properties when considered those produced with traditional methods. Polymeric nanoparticles are matrix systems prepared from natural or synthetic materials ranging from 10 to 1000 nm particle sizes that the active material can be leached or confined inside it, and/or adsorbed or attached to the surface of the particle.
