Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are small particles with diameters in the range of 1?100 nm. They have shown special and enhanced physical and chemical properties depending on the particle size. The four most common inorganic NPs are 1) noble metal, 2) magnetic, 3) fluorescence, and 4) ?multifunctional, e.g., luminescent magnetic. Table 1 shows the three major types of inorganic NPs and their special applications in medical devices.
