Relevant types of nanoparticles such as the metals/non-metals and their oxides (if any), biodegradable biocompatible nanoparticles, hydrogel nanoparticles, dendrimers, etc. in the form of nanospheres, nanostars, nanoshells and nanotubes are featured. The book includes applications in cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, diseases of the central nervous system, orthopedics and more. Therefore, it is useful for undergraduates, graduate students, postgraduate, professors, and professionals (such as oncologists, radiologists, lawyers, businessmen, technicians, etc.).An additional new section of this book focuses on the application of nanotechnology for medical use of cannabidiols (CBDs) which has been approved for medical use in the 50 states.
- Includes step-by-step synthesis/preparation/characterization of nanoparticles
- Describes the different nanomaterials that are relevant in medicine, such as metals/non-metals and their oxide, biodegradable biocompatible nanoparticles and hydrogel nanoparticles
- Explains the medical significance and specific advantages of nanospheres, nanostars, nanoshells and nanotubes
- Focuses on commercially available nanoenabled medical products and recent information on nanomaterial toxicity to provide private, policy and public awareness on nanomedicine
Students in undergraduate and graduate courses can use this book for their research as well as a textbook where they can learn about the synthesis and characterization as well as preparation of nanoparticles for medical applications. Patent lawyers and patent officials can benefit as well from this book. Medical professionals such as oncologists, radiologists, heart specialists, infectious disease specialists, dermatologists, orthopaedics, and more specially to their patients and their relatives who may want to learn more about the alternative therapeutics
