Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which can be used in numerous applications such as gas storage, gas/steam separation, sensor, catalysis, imaging, luminescence, medication and biomedical applications in the nanotechnology field, have attracted a lot of attention. MOFs with unique physical and chemical properties are linked to both organic and inorganic components by the coordination of polydentate organic binders and metal ions. Through these features specific to MOFs; Gives new perspectives on materials science, nanomedicine, biology, and drug distribution. In addition, biodegradability, porosity, high loading capacity, and surface modification properties are the main advantages of the new generation technologies. This chapter highlights various MOF types, their properties, and applications in various biomedical disciplines, with a particular focus on drug delivery and theranostics.
