Abstract

The ability of nanotechnology to alter materials at extremely small scales to achieve specific properties that would greatly enhance the toolbox of materials science is the basis for many of its benefits. Nowadays, businesses all over the world are attempting to use nanotechnology to make their ideas more productive and efficient in terms of vision, design, and working methods. Nanotechnology has made it possible to modernise practically every industrial sector on a global scale, from small-scale manufacturing and processing facilities like those in the food, medicine, and agriculture sectors to larger-scale production facilities like those in the automotive, civil engineering, and environmental management sectors. Many academics throughout the world have hailed nanotechnology as a revolutionary technology.As an enabling technology, it has the potential to expand research and development across a wide range of disciplines and have a broad range of sectoral applications, from electronics, textiles, healthcare and medicine, construction, water treatment, food processing, and cosmetics. For a developing nation like India, many of these applications are quite relevant. The more sustainable growth of nano-based enterprises can be anticipated in the future with strong collaboration between researchers, industry, scientists, technologists, environmentalists, and educators. The most notable advancements in the field of nanotechnology, including drug delivery systems, applications, and future perspectives, are presented in this review article.
