Nanobiotechnology - Today and tomorrow

Abstract

The nanotechnology is a general name of the set of techniques of creating structures exhibiting unique properties that have at least one dimension between 0.1 to 100 nanometers. The nanobiotechnology includes the use of nanomaterials in fields of science such as medicine, chemical, cosmetic and food industry. Additionally, nanobiotechnology provides huge opportunities in the environmental protection. Although research in nanotechnology continues apace, relatively little is known about the subsequent health effects of exposure, therefore risk assessment of utilizing nanomaterials is needed.
