Nanomaterials for Pharmaceuticals Determination

Abstract

Nanomaterials play an important role in the fabrication of many devices and modified materials, due to their unique properties, such as a large surface area/volume ratio and their high mechanical strength. The applicability of nanomaterials in drug determinations is being well investigated. This review provides a summary of the synthesis methods, characterization routes, and applications toward drugs. Nanomaterials have been investigated for their applications with electrochemical and spectroscopic systems for drug determinations. Most of the applications described in the literature are concerned with pushing the limits of how few molecules can be detected in a given volume of solution. Nanomaterials based methods are useful because of their excellent electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties. The real value of the designed method lies in their detection limit range, sensitivity, and other merits that can be enhanced by the nanomaterials modified electrodes or surfaces.

Recent Developments in the Application of Nanomaterials in Agroecosystems

“…Nanomaterials are structures with dimensions of 1.0-100.0 nm [55]. Nanomaterials are different from their bulk equivalents because of their high surface-area-to-volume ratio and possible presence of quantum effects [56].…”

Pharmaceutical Characterization and Detection Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

“…The reported results indicated the effectiveness of the Raman method in detecting the mechanism of vascular changes. Comparing with several methods [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], SERS has the advantages of being …”

Prospects of Nanobioremediation in Environmental Cleanup

“…It is because of its cost effectiveness, eco-friendly approach, controlled toxicity and rapid speed of reaction etc. Nanoparticles synthesized by green route have a well defined structural, physical and chemical properties 7,8 There are two methods for synthesizing nanoparticles, the chemical synthesis and the green synthesis [9][10] . Chemical Synthesis of nanoparticles uses chemical reduction using chemical compounds such as citrates, ascorbates, borohydrates of sodium [11][12][13] etc .…”
