Abstract:
Nanometer zinc oxide (Nano-ZnO) has been widely applied in many fields such as rubber,ceramics,textile,cosmetics,etc.due to its excellent physical,chemical and biological properties.In recent years,its applications in biomedicine have been paid more and more attention.This paper introduces the unique optical,chemical,mechanical,semi-conducting and biological properties of Nano-ZnO.Meanwhile,the applications of Nano-ZnO in bio-sensing and detection,biological nutrition,medical treatment,biological imaging,drug delivery,tumor cells targeted killing and translational medicine are also reviewed,and the brief outlook on the applications is presented.
