Nanoparticles Development and Analysis Services

Nanoparticles are particles that have dimensions in the nanometer range, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm). They can have unique physical and chemical properties that differ from their bulk counterparts due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio.

Types of Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles can be categorized based on their composition into the following types.

• Metallic Nanoparticles: Metallic nanoparticles, including gold, silver, platinum, and copper nanoparticles, are employed in diverse applications such as biomedical imaging, drug delivery, photothermal therapy, antibacterial agents, and catalysis due to their unique optical, electronic, and catalytic properties.
• Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Metal oxide nanoparticles, including zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), iron oxide (Fe2O3), and copper oxide (CuO), are widely used in applications such as photocatalysis, UV protection, drug delivery, environmental remediation, and magnetic resonance imaging due to their unique electronic, optical, and catalytic properties.
• Ceramic Nanoparticles: Ceramic nanoparticles, including titania (TiO2), silica (SiO2), zirconia (ZrO2), and alumina (Al2O3), are utilized across various fields such as photocatalysis, drug delivery, dental and orthopedic implants, wear-resistant coatings due to their unique properties such as high thermal stability, biocompatibility, and catalytic activity.
• Polymeric Nanoparticles: Polymeric nanoparticles, including biodegradable and biocompatible polymer nanoparticles, are widely used in drug delivery, gene therapy, imaging, diagnostics, and biosensing applications due to their tunable properties, biocompatibility, and ability to encapsulate therapeutic agents for targeted therapy.
• Carbon-Based Nanoparticles: Carbon-based nanoparticles, including carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene, and carbon dots, have diverse applications ranging from drug delivery and cancer treatment to sensors, energy storage, and environmental remediation due to their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties.
• Composite Nanoparticles: Composite nanoparticles typically include metal-polymer nanoparticles, metal-oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanoparticles, and lipid-based nanoparticles, each offering unique applications in areas such as drug delivery, catalysis, environmental remediation, and cancer therapy.
• Quantum Dots: Quantum dots, including colloidal quantum dots, semiconductor quantum dots, and carbon dots, have diverse applications ranging from displays and biological imaging to photovoltaics, lasers, sensing and drug delivery due to their unique optical and electronic properties.
• Lipid Nanoparticles: Lipid nanoparticles, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and liposomes, are primarily utilized in drug delivery, gene therapy, and vaccine development due to their ability to encapsulate therapeutic agents, enhance bioavailability, and facilitate targeted delivery.
