Opis

Nanobiomaterials: Nanostructured Materials for Biomedical Applications serves as a unique source for the rapidly growing biomaterials community on topics at the interface of biomaterials and nanotechnology. The book covers an extensive range of topics related to the processing, characterization, modeling, and applications of nanostructured medical device materials and biological materials. Topics cover the science and technology of nanostructured ceramics, polymers, metals, and composites, including nanocomposites, self-assembled materials, and biological macromolecules. Novel approaches for bottom-up and top-down processing of nanostructured biomaterials are highlighted, as are innovative techniques for characterizing and modeling nanostructured material properties, in vitro behavior, and in vivo behavior. In addition, applications of nanostructured biomaterials in bioMEMS, cardiology, drug delivery, gene therapy, orthopedics, ophthalmology, sensing, separation, and tissue engineering are comprehensively covered.

• Provides a concise description of the materials and technologies used in the development of nanostructured biomaterials
• Provides industrial researchers with an up-to-date and handy reference on current topics in the field of nanostructured biomaterials
• Includes an integrated approach that is used to discuss both the biological and engineering aspects of nanostructured biomaterials
