Small molecules are utilized in several ways within nanotechnology:
Drug Delivery: Small molecules can be encapsulated in nanocarriers to improve the delivery and efficacy of drugs. Sensors: They are used in nanosensors to detect environmental changes or the presence of specific substances. Catalysis: Small molecules can act as catalysts in chemical reactions at the nanoscale, enhancing reaction rates and selectivity. Imaging: In medical imaging, small molecules tagged with radioactive or fluorescent markers can help visualize biological processes.
