Advances in Application of Nanomaterials in Life Science
Journal Title: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanomaterials had attracted much attention since their discovery with their unique structure, peculiar physical, chemical, mechanical properties and potential application prospects. In the past few years, the theoretical and experimental research on biological nanomaterials has become the focus of attention, especially the biochemistry, biophysics, biomechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism of nucleic acid and protein, while its intelligent composites have become the forefront of life science and materials science. At present, nano-bio-chip materials, biomimetic materials, nano-motors, nanocomposites, interface biomaterials, nano-sensors and drug delivery systems have made great progress. In this paper, the characteristics of these materials, research and development of the application were reviewed, a brief overview of the nano-materials in the life sciences of the main applications, and to explore the development prospects of biological nano-materials.
