ABSTRACT
Traça um padrão de relacionamento entre nanociências, saúde e biologia para estabelecer um panorama histórico no campo das nanociências. Utilizou-se o banco de dados Web of Science, com levantamento inicial pelas palavras-chave nanoscience e nanotechnology e também de palavras relacionadas a biologia e saúde. A aplicação do programa Citespace permitiu visualizar o padrão de relacionamento entre os tópicos lançados na base de pesquisa, proporcionando identificação de momentos de explosão e de ruptura do tema. Os dados obtidos mostram que a relação entre essas áreas emerge a partir de 2006, estando a maioria relacionada a nanomedicina. Trabalhos sobre nanotoxicologia também aparecem de forma significativa, uma vez que essas duas áreas necessitam caminhar juntas.
The article traces a pattern of relationships between nanosciences, health, and biology to provide a historical overview of the nanoscience field. Input data came from the Web of Science databank, through a search first based on the keywords ‘nanoscience' and ‘nanotechnology' and also the selection of words related to biology and health. Application of the Citespace program made it possible to visualize the pattern of relationships between topics in the research base, allowing identification of burst and centrality points on the subject. Data findings show that the relationship between these areas emerged in 2006, most of them related to nanomedicine. There are also a significant number of works on nanotoxicology, since these two areas necessarily come hand in hand.

The article traces a pattern of relationships between nanosciences, health, and biology to provide a historical overview of the nanoscience field. Input data came from the Web of Science databank, through a search first based on the keywords 'nanoscience' and 'nanotechnology' and also the selection of words related to biology and health. Application of the Citespace program made it possible to visualize the pattern of relationships between topics in the research base, allowing identification of burst and centrality points on the subject. Data findings show that the relationship between these areas emerged in 2006, most of them related to nanomedicine. There are also a significant number of works on nanotoxicology, since these two areas necessarily come hand in hand.
