Polymeric nanomaterials possess a distinct set of properties for systems due to their large surface area to mass ratio, high reactivity, and nanoscale size. These attributes make them unique in many application fields. Their application in nanomedicine has completely changed therapeutic and diagnostic modalities because they are precisely engineered materials at the molecular level. Nanoparticles are widely used in site-specific controlled delivery and direct targeting to increase pharmacological efficacy and decrease side effects. Polymers are potentially perfect for meeting the needs of every specific drug-delivery system because of their versatility. Biodegradable and biocompatible polymers are commonly used in the fabrication of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs). In this review, a summary of nanomedicine, targeted therapy with polymer nanoparticles, and diagnostic applications of polymer nanomaterials have been provided.
