Polymer Nanotechnology

A polymer nanocomposite contains a polymer or copolymer having nano particles dispersed in the polymer matrix. Polymers provide protection to the active molecules to the delivery site; especially through the gastrointestinal tract. In generally, natural polymers are nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable. Polysaccharides and proteins are the frequently used wall materials for the fabrication of polymeric nanoparticles.
