Notable nanoparticles that have several applications in the field of medical sciences. (A) Multilamellar liposomes which have several phospholipid bilayer spheres. (B) Large unilamellar liposomes which have single phospholipid bilayer sphere and size of 200 to 800 nm. (C) Small unilamellar liposomes which also have single phospholipid bilayer sphere and size of less than 100 nm. (D) Carbon nanotubes are made of sheets of single-layer carbon atoms. (E) Polymeric nanoparticles which have size ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and also known as colloidal solid particles. (F) Metallic nanoparticles are made of metal as core and organic compound or inorganic metal as sphere. (G) Micelles are composed of amphiphilic macromolecules which range from 5 to 100 nm as nanoparticle. (H) Quantum dots are ultrasmall semiconductor nanoparticle. (I) Dendrimers are nanoparticle organized with core, inner shell and outer shell.
