Smart Nanomaterials and Their Applications
Md. Kawsar Alam, Rejwana Karim, A. J. Saleh Ahammad
Nanomaterials are one of the most amazing creations of human civilization because of their unprecedented potential. These materials are eminent to own excellent electrical, thermal, optical, strong mechanical strength, and catalytic properties. Gadgets or sensors made of nanoparticles are used to determine harmful substances or contaminants of the environment as well as have human biomedical health applications. They have drawn significant attention in the medical sector for possessing remarkable reactivity, extraordinary molar-extinction coefficient, specificity, long-lasting stability, and stronger absorption. In the case of certain biomedical utilization, the fabricating of nanoparticles is problematic because they lack adequate functional characteristics. Smart nanomaterials grab this attention significantly since they can be triggered by external elements like temperature, pH, light, pressure, enzyme, etc. This chapter intends to provide the classifications and applications of smart nanomaterials as tissue engineering, drug delivery, sensor, etc.
