Types | Inorganic nanomaterials | Organic nanomaterials | Hybrid nanomaterials | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|
Typical example | MSNs, mesoporous silicon NPs, mesoporous carbon | COFs | MOFs | [27] |
Advantages | Good biocompatibility; ease of functionalization, high drug loading capacity, and some unique physicochemical properties such as optical, magnetic, electrical, ultrasonic, and catalytic properties | Good biocompatibility; biodegradability; controllable particle size; different functionalization | Advantages of both organic and inorganic material; improved biocompatibility; biosensing, high catalytic activity, optical properties and so on | |
Disadvantages | Poor biodegradability and accumulation of metal ions may have potential toxicity | Limited pore size; few reports about the degradability | Possible toxicity needs further investigation; limited pore size; few reports about the degradability |
