While there are various books on the carbonaceous nanomaterials available on the market, none approach the subject from a pharmaceutical point-of-view. In this context, the book covers different applications of carbonaceous nanomaterials. Chapters examine different types of carbon nanomaterials and explore how they are used in such areas as cancer treatments, pulse sensing and prosthetics. Readers will find this book to be a valuable reference resource for those working in the areas of carbon materials, nanomaterials and pharmaceutical science.
- Explains how the unique properties of carbon-based nanomaterials allow them to be used to create effective drug delivery systems
- Covers how carbon-based nanomaterials should be prepared for use in pharmaceutical applications
- Discusses the relative toxicity of a range of carbon-based nanomaterials
- Considers the safety of their use in different types of drugs
Pharmaceutical scientists, biomaterials scientists, toxicologists, biomedical engineers, medicinal chemists and postgraduate students specializing in the areas of nanomedicine, bionanomaterials and nanotechnology applications in healthcare
