Gold nanotubes from organic scaffolds for biomedical applications

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Nanoparticles are the cutting edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology, which enables visualization and manipulation of matter down to the atomic level. Their unique size to volume ratio, shape and thermal stability make these materials superior, and rapidly usable in various bio-medical applications. This brief review summarize the recent advances in the field of applied nanomaterials with an emphasis in designing nanoscale devices with pre-defined structure, and their potential applications in the field of biology and medicine.
