A nanocarrier is nanomaterial being used as a transport module for another substance, such as a drug. Commonly used nanocarriers include micelles, polymers, carbon-based materials, liposomes and other substances.〔Qian W, Sun D, Zhu R, Du X, Liu H, Wang S. pH-sensitive strontium carbonate nanoparticles as new anticancer vehicles for controlled etoposide release. International Journal of Nanomedicine. 2012;7:5781-5792.〕 Nanocarriers are currently being studied for their use in drug delivery and their unique characteristics demonstrate potential use in chemotherapy.
==Characterization== Nanocarriers range from sizes of diameter 1–100 nm.〔Peer1 D, Kar J, Hong S, Farokhzad O, Margalit, Langer R. Nanocarriers as an emerging platform for cancer therapy. Nature. 2007; 2: 751-760.〕 Because of their small size, nanocarriers can deliver drugs to otherwise inaccessible sites around the body. Since nanocarriers are so small, it is oftentimes difficult to provide large drug doses using them. The emulsion techniques used to make nanocarriers also often result in low drug loading and drug encapsulation, providing a difficulty for the clinical use.〔
