Popis: | A large number of recent studies deal with the application of nano materials to different medicine areas, application that led to a new discipline known as nanomedicine. It comprises the processes of diagnosing, treating, curing, preventing diseases and also dealing with traumatic injury, relieving pain and preserving/improving human health by using nano materials. Among nano materials, an important place belongs to the group of natural and synthetic polymer nanocomposites. These are made up of an organic polymer matrix and a mineral, organic or metallic nanofiller. The properties of polymer nanocomposites depend on the characteristics of the components and on the interaction polymer-nanofiller. Polymer nanocomposites offer to modern medicine new opportunities for generate products for antibacterial treatment, tissues engineering, cancer therapy, medical imaging, dental applications, drug delivery, etc. |
