The role that nanoparticles play in the rapidly developing field of ‘NanoMedicine’ has been discussed previously in Chapter 5. In this Chapter, we review the specific mechanisms by which such nanoparticles are designed and formulated and in which NTA has had a significant part to play.

With the increasing interest in nanoparticles, various ways of detecting and measuring them are being used.

This white paper reviews the use of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) in addressing this need

KNAUER’s Matthias Luebbert discusses the company’s recent move into lipid nanoparticles

Influence of temperature on the size of polymer nanoparticles

This study outlines the quantitation and characterization of element oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3, and CeO2) commonly used in the nanoelectronics and semiconductor fabrication industry for the chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) of semiconductor surfaces.

Recent studies have shown that some nanoparticles may be harmful to humans.

During the last decade, the production and use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have experienced a drastic increase, resulting in a potential risk of their release into the environment. Therefore, the study of their impact on the environment becomes crucial.
