Abstract

Over the last few decades, there has been a rapidly growing interest in using nanostructures for biomedical applications such as bio-imaging, bio-sensing, targeted drug delivery, and therapy. This is particularly due to their unique size-dependent optical, electrical, catalytic, magnetic, and other properties. Nanostructures can be successfully used for biomedical applications only after appropriate ligand functionalization. In this chapter, we will discuss about various strategies for the preparations of ligand-functionalized colloidal nanostructures and their selective biomedical applications.
