Abstract:
Self-cleaning surface coatings, tooth paste with repair effect, mini fuel cells and extremely small data memories, which contain the knowledge of whole libraries: After "micro" in the 1980ies and "electronic" in the 1990ies, "nano" is the technological keyword of this decade. The new nano-materials fascinate laymen and experts alike. Also in pharmacy the advance into dimensions unattainable so far, paved the way for the formulation of new pharmaceutical preparations. The nanotechnology offers innovative answers to previously unresolved galenic and/or biopharmaceutical questions and offers unexpected possibilities for drug targeting.
