The Application of Nanomaterials in Medicine

Abstract

With the advancement of nanotechnology, an increasing array of nanomaterials is being applied in the field of medicine, leveraging their unique size-related characteristics for various purposes including treatment and disease detection. This article aims to summarize the current applications of nanomaterials in medicine, delving into an in-depth exploration and summary of four specific types of materials including nano-biomaterials, nanocomposites, nanometal particles, and nanoporous materials, focusing on their functionality, characteristics, and prospects for development. This article intends to foster further advancement of nanomaterials in the medical field by summarizing their medical applications and encouraging cross-disciplinary inspiration and new ideas. This could lead to the development of more cost-effective and efficient nanomaterial applications in medicine, benefiting a broader range of patients. It is hoped that in the future, nanomaterials will enter a phase of rapid development, with reduced costs and expanded applications, gradually transitioning from experimental to practical clinical use.
