Nanomaterials have occupied ubiquitous status in present-day life.
Nanotechnology has become the backbone for technical aspects of energy-storing,
communication industries, domestic, health, and safety, etc. Interactions and behavior
of nanomaterials are the primary concern among the related research fraternity. The
main focus is on the mechanisms involved in the interactions and the responses of
nanomaterials concerning abiotic and biotic components of the environment during the
pertinent research. The interactions and behavior of nanomaterials follow the basic
principles of physics, chemistry, material science, biological sciences, etc.
Nanomaterials abridge the atomic and molecular state of the matter and the respective
bulk forms. In such interactions, the quantum mechanics and tunneling effect,
parameters like, inter and intramolecular binding forces, hydrophobicity, and
hydrophilicity, net charges, etc., have functional significance. Nanomaterials exhibit
the ability to get precisely designed as per the assigned functions. As a result, such
nanomaterials act as preferred options in different fields like vehicles for cargo and
diagnostic tools, etc. In this chapter, the functional roles of the physicochemical
parameters and related forces are reviewed regarding the behavior of nanomaterials in
the biosystem.
