This review covers the fabrication and applications of polymer-based micro or nanomotors in biomedical areas, discussing both classic manufacturing approaches and cutting-edge techniques. Current challenges and future prospects are presented in the hope of facilitating practical translations of micro/nanomotors.
Since their naissance in the 2000s, various micro or nanomotors with powerful functions have been proposed. Among them, polymer-based micro or nanomotors stand out for the easy processing and facile functionalization, holding immense potential for bioapplications. In this review, fabrication of polymer-based micro or nanomotors and their applications in biomedical areas are covered. Classic manufacturing approaches as well as cutting-edge techniques are discussed with representative works highlighted. Current challenges and future prospects are presented in the hope of pointing new research directions to facilitate practical translations of micro/nanomotors.
