  Nano-silicon drug delivery platform is an excellent candidate for medical applications as drug delivery devices, due to excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high surface area of porous silicon nanoparticles. Nanoporous silicon is found naturally on the silicon-based carbon sheets of solar cells, and in semiconductor wafers. It has recently found its way to the exterior of drugs, where it is said to have many anti-inflammatory properties.   The unique feature of this material is that it absorbs almost all of the energy input before it passes through the skin. This property is known as absorption, and it allows many pharmaceuticals, including some commonly used drugs, to be absorbed into the body without rejection. Nano-silicon drug delivery platform offers an easy solution to the problem of drug rejection, since only very small concentrations are needed to get a drug to the intended site. As the pores of the nanoporous silicon-based drug delivery me...
