Abstract
Synthesis of Organic Nanoparticles and their Applications in Drug Delivery and Food Nanotechnology: A Review
Organic nanoparticles, nanocrystals and nanobeads are of major interest in material and life sciences. Biopolymer nanoparticles are offering numerous advantages that embrace the simplicity of their preparation from well-understood biodegradable, biocompatible polymers and their high stability in biological fluids during storage. Several types of polymers have been tested as potential drug delivery systems; including nanoparticles, dendrimers, capsosomes and micelles. In the present review, synthetic methods for the preparation of organic nanoparticles, types and significant applications of organic nanoparticles have been reviewed with suitable examples.
