Relier Pairs Nanotechnology in Medicine (D)Version en ligne The word “nanotechnology” is widely used to define the science and technology dedicated to studying, designing, creating, synthesizing, controlling, handling and using materials, devices and functional systems at nanoscale. That is to say a millionth of a millimetre (10-9 m) and so we are able to work with and handle atoms and molecules. par Jessica Flood 1 Nanocrystals and quantum dots 2 Nanoparticles 3 Nanomaterials 4 Biopolymers 5 Carbon nanotubes 6 Nanomaterials classified according to: 7 Nanotechnology 8 Nanowires 9 Fullerenes 10 Nanomedicine Macromolecular compounds with clear incidence on the biology of living beings (especially among human mammals) and that are giving way to a series of medical, clinical and pharmaceutical applications in increase. Sciences and techniques dedicated to the study, design, creation, synthesis, control, manipulation and application of materials, devices and systems functional on a nano scale. Allotropic form of carbon, it is made up of 60 carbon atoms, all of them equivalent, indistinguishable and each bonded to three other carbons, forming part of two hexagons and a pentagon that gives rise to a structure closed. Nanotechnology branch with direct applications in medicine, which allows the approach of diseases from inside the body, at a cellular or molecular level. Made up of nanoparticles of inorganic materials, such as silicon, gallium nitrite, and indium phosphate, which are assembled as a grid. They are spherical and therefore have three dimensions. They have a particle size between 0.1 and 100 nm in each space dimensional. They are an elemental form of carbon, like diamond, graphite or fullerenes. They are made up of curved and closed hexagonal carbon networks, forming nanometric carbon tubes. They can be attached to a antibody or another molecule capable of binding itself to a substance of interest, which makes them very interesting as markers in molecular diagnostics, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. They have very different properties from their large-scale counterparts. scale due to its high area / surface and force / weight ratio, and the appearance of quantum effects. Number of dimensions and size less than 100 nm. -One dimension -Two dimensions -Three dimensions
