ACS Nanotoxicology Papers
Chemical Research in Toxicology from the American Chemical Society provides a forum for articles that explore the toxicological properties of nanoparticles toward intact cells.
This link leads you to a thematic collection of papers on nanotoxicology which was published by one of the leading journals in the field. This is a useful resource of researchers!
Why Is Small So Big?
Nanotechnology deals with products and processes that are measured in almost unbelievably small increments called “nanometers”—one billionth of a meter.
At the nanoscale, materials differ from larger objects in their physical, chemical and biological properties; therefore, they lend themselves to new and improved materials, systems and devices. Nanotechnology is behind the development of such diverse advancements as:
- Drug Delivery
- Biofiltration and Separation sciences
- Improved coatings for medical devices
Thanks to rapid advances in this exciting new field, we now have the tools and talents to manipulate materials on the molecular scale—a technology literally changing the world as we know it.
