Abstract

Nanomaterials are the classes of nanomaterials which basically fall in the range of 1–100 nm dimensions and have achieved its ubiquitous role in the domain of bioelectronics to biomedical area. The applications in the biomedical domain comprise bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, anti-cancerous activity, etc., which have attracted much attention in the recent times. Due to the specific unique activity of nano-scaled materials such as its higher surface to volume ratio, higher surface energy, more surface reactivity, etc., such materials find applications in the field of biological domain to electronical area. The electron confinement activity to differentially capped nano-scaled materials have been used extensively now-a-days in the bioimaging and applications. Due to the higher quantum yield and more stability in the biological systems, nanomaterials have been a material of choice for an augmented biological activity as compared to their bulk counterparts. Such nanomaterials due to their biocompatible dimensions having resemblance to biological systems, enable for an effective drug delivery carrier molecule as compared to other drug carrier systems. Moreover, such materials bear unique photo-physical and luminescence properties which are harnessed for different bioimaging applications, showing robust imaging behaviour as compared to the bulk systems. Finally, targeted drug delivery (TDD) means has been achieved in a better and refined manner using such nano-scaled materials owing to their unique specificity and sensitivity attributes in the biological interface. Understanding the comprehensive role of nano-scaled materials in diverse biomedical area specifically in myriad imaging techniques makes nanomaterials of different types a preferred choice in bioimaging applications making a revolutionary measure in the biomedical field of research and applications.
