Fig. 2From: Nanocarrier cancer therapeutics with functional stimuli-responsive mechanismsExamples of inorganic nanocarriers. Mesoporous nanoparticles are silica nanoparticles with overall diameter of < 1 μm and pores diameter from 2 to 50 nm. Quantum dots are colloidal fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (2–10 nm). Silver and gold nanoparticles (1–100 nm) have high surface area, tunable optical, and are non-toxic. Carbon nanotubes consist of coaxial graphite sheets (< 100 nm) rolled up cylindrical. Graphene oxide is single atomic layer of carbon, consist of thickness 1 nm. Figure has been created using BiorenderBack to article page
