Recent Developments in the Field of Nanotechnology for Development of Medical Implants

Nanoengineering is an emerging field with combination of all traditional branches of science. Development in nanoengineering is opening avenues in the field of health specially development of prostheses & implants, diagnostics and drug delivery. Application of nanoengineering is used to discover and design materials for better biocompatibility with a high degree of specificity. Present paper introduced ongoing research in the application of nanotechnology and its use in development of antibacterial, rigid and functional implants.
