Nanomaterials have gained immense recognition‎,‎ particularly in biomacromolecular delivery‎,‎ owing to their capability of diagnosis‎,‎ controlled drug release or targeting at molecular‎,‎ cellular and organ level‎.‎ This book describes the role of nanomaterials in the development of various nanostructured‎,‎ biomacromolecular delivery systems‎.‎ The chapter presents a discussion on various physicochemical properties‎,‎ preparation techniques and analytical tools for characterizing these systems‎.‎ The mechanisms of cellular internalization of nanomaterial based targeted systems is also embarked upon‎.‎ Various challenges posed during the development‎,‎ scale up and large‎-scale production is discussed‎.‎ A brief overview pertaining to the regulatory requirements and commercialization of these systems is also included‎.‎ Taking lead from various successful case studies‎,‎ the present chapter provides a bird‎'‎s eye view on the current advances in the field of nanomaterial based biomacromolecular delivery‎.‎ Concisely‎,‎ the chapter would act as a ready reckoner for drug delivery scientists working in this area‎.‎
