FULLERENES
---- Allotropic form of carbon molecule
60,80 carbon atoms arranged in hexagons or
pentagons like the cage like the designed by 20th
Century American architect Buckminister fuller so
this particles are called fullerenes

Nanotechnologies Used in Both
Research
and Commercial Applications
Nanotechnologies Used in
MEDICIN
Health Care: Nerve Tissue
Talking to Computers
• Increased bioavailability
• Faster onset of action
• Dose uniformity
• Reduction in fed/fasted variability
• Decreased toxicity
• Smaller dosage form (i.e., smaller tablet)
• Stable dosage forms of drugs which are
either unstable or have unacceptably low
bioavailability in non-nanoparticulate
dosage forms
