This book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of nanobiomaterials before comprehensively covering three core focus areas: nanobiomaterials for diagnostics, for therapeutics, and for theragnostics. A range of nanobiomaterials are covered - including organic and inorganic types – as well as a selection of biomedical applications aligned with diagnostics and therapeutics, such as regenerative medicine and antimicrobial treatments. This is a great interdisciplinary resource for researchers and academics working in materials science, biomedical engineering, medicinal and materials chemistry, and biomedical sciences.
- Covers nanobiomaterials for diagnostics, therapeutics, and theragnostics
- Provides a brief overview of fundamentals relating to nanobiomaterials for use in biomedical applications, including biocompatibility issues and tissue-structure interactions
- Explores production challenges, quality control, sustainability and economic factors involved in the synthesis and application of nanobiomaterials for diagnostics and therapeutics
