This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanomaterials are organic or inorganic entities employed for the construction of various nanostructured devices or systems with nanometric dimensions. These nanostructures may include nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanocapsules, nanocomposites as well as nanoporous solids. Nanomaterials have gained immense recognition, particularly in biomacromolecular delivery, owing to their capability of controlling the release rate or targeting the therapeutic moieties at molecular, cellular and organ level. Additionally, the problems of conformational and degradation stability associated with biomacromolecules like peptides, proteins, and genes have been addressed successfully by employing these nanomaterials. The degradation products of these biocompatible nanomaterials are non-toxic, non-immunogenic and easily resorbable by the regular physiological processes. The present chapter endeavors to describe the role of nanomaterials in the design, fabrication and development of various nanostructured, biomacromolecular delivery systems and devices. The chapter presents a discussion on various physicochemical properties, preparation techniques and analytical tools for characterizing these systems. The mechanisms of cellular internalization of nanomaterial based targeted systems are also discussed.
