Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Nanomaterials, with their unique therapeutic traits such as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties, can be used as drug
candidates to treat a wide range of diseases. Nano complexes like dendrimers, carbon
nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene-based nanomaterials, carbon quantum dots,
nanohydrogels, peptide nanostructures, MXenes, Silicene, and Antimonene have been
distinguished by researchers, among the many nanomaterials because of their lower
toxicity, ease of tuning to the desired end use, complex interactions with biological
macromolecules, and solubility properties. This chapter will present the most recent
research details on nanomaterials that have been developed as therapeutic candidates to
treat a number of illnesses.
