Polymer nanoparticles (nanomedicine) for therapeutic applications

Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are tiny solid and colloidal particles with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to 1000 nm, with versatile structures and morphologies. It is an innovative form of materials derived through nanotechnology for technological improvement in drug delivery and other biomedical applications. PNPs are manufactured through the use of both natural and synthetic polymers using different techniques for desired properties. Research has shown the different stimulus responses of these manufactured PNPs. This article reviews the different possible types of PNPs, up-to-date improvements in the synthesis of different PNPs, and the different biomedical applications of PNPs. There are more discoveries to be unleashed year after year, especially with regard to the most recent medical issues such as viral diseases and other illnesses.
