Abstract
Nano-based technologies are highly desired for the unique properties achieved through size
restrictions. Nanoparticles (NPs) achieve a higher surface-to-volume ratio during synthesis. As
a result there is a greater rate of interaction between the nanostructure, its surrounding
environment, and the biological system it is present within. Research into nanomaterial effects
on biological systems are imperative to control the functioning of these materials. A way of
overcoming limitations and to meet end point goals within biological systems is the altering of
nanomaterial surfaces for greater tolerance by cells.
