There is a wide range of nano particles used these days. These nano particles are used for a wide range of applications and purposes. Especially to do a wide range of tests properly and to draw accurate reading and result, these nano particles are used. You can say that the use of these nano particles have really managed to make these tests accurate, proper, safe and convenient for us. Magnetic silica nanoparticles are the ones that are best known for their big surface area as well as ease to function. These nano particles are also biocompatible in nature. And due to this reason, they are also used for the biomedical applications and processes in great numbers. All these properties such nano particles have are making them the right choice for the drug delivery systems and applications. As silica is the most commonly found material in this universe and on the earth it is located abundantly, the nano particles made from this material are also in great demand these days.
As far as the industrial silica is concerned, this is used at a wide range of industries these days. From chemical industry to the ceramics and from glass to the construction and foundries; at these industries silica is in great demand. Well, the silica nanoparticles are also known as the silicon dioxide. These are the amorphous substances and equipped with a spherical shape. In the nonporous form, these nano particles are absorbent and abrasive too.
Well, the mesoporous form of these nano particles are having a hexagonal shape for their pores and have show a great potential in the making of drug applications and nano medicines.
