Soft Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Soft nanomaterials are biocompatible, flexible, and often biodegradable nanomaterials, primarily including polymers, lipids, proteins, hydrogels, nanofibers, nano-liposomes, and biological nanoparticles. They are suitable for applications such as compatibility with the body, controlled drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensors.
Key Applications
Drug Delivery
- Liposomes, nano-liposomes, and biodegradable polymer nanoparticles are used to deliver drugs safely and controllably to the target site.
- FDA-approved nanomedicines like Doxil have been successful in cancer therapy, where the drug is encapsulated in liposomes to reduce its toxicity and increase effectiveness.
- Nanofiber-based dressings accelerate wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.
