INTRODUCTION
Green plants convert more energy and synthesize a
greater tonnage of fine chemicals than the combined
global chemical industry. This is an example of
amazing nanobiotechnology process (Drexler, 1999)
1 nm = 1 x 10-9 m
=10 atoms
1Å = 1 x 10-10 m
Nanoscience and nanotechnology
Nanoscience and nanotechnology
Nanomedicines:
The use of nanoscience and nanotechnology for medicine (applications, processes, etc.)
NANOMEDICINE
Nanomedicine - a multidisciplinary approach
(Opportunities/Challenges)
Application of
nanomaterials for
different areas
Application of graphene and CNTs for nanomedicines
Current and emerging applications of
nanomaterials for nanomedicine
THE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTRIBUTE TO
NANOSCIENCE/NANOTECHNOLOGY
1) Tools for Research: To produce new tools and equipment for research (Instruments for
nanoscience/nanotechnology).
2) New Materials: Nanomaterials for electrically/magnetically/optically functional polymers,
particles, and composites for a range of applications, from spray-painted automobile
bumpers and nanoscale bar-coded rods, to the printed organic electronics of electronic
newspapers and smart shipping labels.
3) New Processes for Fabrication: The development of new processes to make new
nanomaterials at affordable cost.
4) Nanoelectronics: The development of new fabricating method with the sub-50-nm
dimensions required by nanoelectronics will present immediate opportunities for materials
science and chemistry.
5) Nanoparticle Technology: Specialized kinds of nanoparticles will become important in a
wide range of applications—from drugs to improve bioavailability, to electrodes and
lumiphores for new kinds of graphic displays, etc.
6) The Revolutionary Unknown: A final class—and the one that is the most exciting—
comprises the revolutionary ideas, for example, nano-CDs (read by an array of parallel
atomic force microscope tips known as the “centipede”), quantum computers, and
biocompatible nanoparticles able to reach, recognize, and report presymptomatic disease.
RISKS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
A new technology sparks conflict between those wishing to exploit it as
rapidly as possible and those wishing to wait — to have it proved
absolutely safe.

Advantage of NDS
the compatibility of nanoparticle properties with the properties of the bioactive
and the desired applications.
Factors
1) The physico-chemical properties of the host and the guest
2) The final desired tailor-made physico-chemical properties to be exploited
3) The interaction (bonding) of the host and the guest
for the formation of pure-phase nanomaterials
4) Method of synthesis to get pure-phase
5) Physico-chemical characterisations
Supramolecular Chemistry
Supramolecular Chemistry
The chemistry of the intermolecular bond
covering the structures and functions of the entities formed by the
association of 2 chemical species (J.M. Lehn)
Supramolecules
•Information is stored in the form of structural uniqueness
•The combined action and characteristic parts of the design component
molecules resulted in new properties or synergistic effect
