Which strategy to adopt will depend on the requirements of the user. If the system is to be used in vivo, several requirements are added. Some recipes may lead to toxic, non-biocompatible nanoparticles, or other undesirable properties. A careful study should be made to choose a strategy that suits the investigator s needs. 

Chitosan forms ultrafine, stable and biocompatible nanoparticles, encapsulating optically active quantum dots having wide biomedical applications. Recent research explored that chitosan can also be utihzed for development of acetylcholinesterase biosensor based on CdTe quantum dots/gold nanoparticles. These NPs were modi-fled from chitosan microspheres interface [79, 80]. 

Development of revolutionary nanomaterials or nanoobjects such as nano-CDs, quantum and molecular computers, biocompatible nanoparticles, etc. 

Nanosized composites increase specific surface area, which is one of the aspects that affect biocompatibility. Nanoparticle dissolution and corrosion are important factors for biocompatibility, which are related to the specific surface area. For example, HA-collagen composite coatings can lead to the failure of a dental or bone implant. Apatite dust produced by dropout exfoliation delamination or abrasion can cause inflammation and the resorption of new bone and the coating of apatite. Another typical serious case of apatite dust is osteolysis which is caused by the inflammation induced by abraded particles (Watari et al., 2009).
