Nanomaterials: Implications

Nanotechnology has been one of the most widely used tools in various industries such as pharmaceutical, food, and chemistry, among others, for the encapsulation of compounds or even microorganisms. However, an analysis of the methodologies or polymer matrices to be used is rarely generated, and these in turn contribute to the objective of the product that is intended to be designed. In addition to the evaluation of its physicochemical, optical, and rheological characteristics, and others, are a set of technological tools that allow predicting the stability of a colloid, however, some of the factors that have less importance as the effect of the synthesis process on the shape and size that a structure may have, studies have been carried out to evaluate this phenomenon, which has become a determining factor in the

Recently, the science of nanomaterials has gained strength, due to the wide applications as it is in the pharmaceutical, food, agricultural and other industries, since it has been a tool that allows making the objectives of each of them more efficient in comparison with the direct compound applications, because there are different processes to trap them generating this form particles resistant to biochemical oxidations, UV radiation, gastric digestion or even in some cases can

In this context, the advances in technologies for encapsulation has allowed the development and implementation of polymer matrices with enhanced properties, however, in some cases the size and amount of the materials are not adequate

Due to the growing demand for these materials and the large amount of study that exists, the custom synthesis has been generated, which allows us to obtain materials in suitable sizes depending on the characteristics of the objective, through basic techniques and in some cases with the basic elements that are described below.
