Abstract

Nanotechnology is a promising area in the drug delivery system, with many possible applications of nano device. "Nanotechnology" is emerging new technological development in the field of science and technology. Nanomaterials are differing significantly from other materials due to their two major principal factors: the increased surface area and quantum effects. These factors can enhance properties such as reactivity, strength, electrical characteristics, and in vivo behavior. This article seeks to outline the role of nanotechnology in different areas such as imaging, diagnosis and management of diseases by an emerging nano device in the drug delivery system.
