Biomaterials Nanoarchitectonics, written from the perspectives of authors form NIMS and other researchers worldwide, provides readers with an explanation of the theory and techniques of nanoarchitectonics, exploring its applications in biomedical fields, including regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and diagnostic and treatment systems based on pathogenic mechanisms. The book also explains the use of nanomaterials that enable 'materials therapy', in which the materials themselves elicit a sustainable, curative effect from living tissue.
- Authored by the team that coined the term nanoarchitectonics, who explain their approach to the design of smart/functional nanomaterials and their applications in the biomedical arena
- Explores how materials designed and produced with nanoarchitectonics methods can be used to enhance the natural regenerative power of the human body
- Enables scientists and researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the specific challenges of materials design at the nanoscale
Scientists and engineers involved in materials design and biomedical applications of nanomaterials, materials scientists, polymer chemists, biomedical scientists, biotechnologists
