Abstract

Nano-particles for pharmaceutical purposes are defined as solid colloidal particles ranging in size from 1 - 1000 nm (1 mm). They consist of macromolecular materials and can be used therapeutically as drug carriers, in which the active principle (drug or biologically active material) is dissolved, entrapped or encapsulated, or to which active principle is adsorbed or attached. Nature provides numerous fibrous and porous materials from which materials at nano range can be accessed easily. In the present paper, a qualitative aspect of synthesis and characterization of composite materials derived from plant based sources such as cane sugar and bond paper are discussed.
