Abstract

With the development of nanotechnology, the application of nanomaterials in the medical field has become a forefront hotspot in the field of scientific research in the 21st century. Compared with traditional drug carriers, drug carriers made of nanomaterials have advantages such as higher drug loading rate, better biocompatibility, and targeted transportation, which provide the possibility for the treatment of a variety of diseases. In this paper, the characteristics and advantages of nanomaterials as well as their applications in the medical field are reviewed and the research progress of nanomaterials is analyzed.
