Nanomaterials for Theranostics and Tissue Engineering: Techniques, Trends and Applications provides information on the major methodologies for the application of nanomaterials in the medical field. In recent years, nanotechnology for medicine, commonly known as bionanotechnology, or nanomedicine, has revolutionized various types of medical treatment. This book is intended for practicing engineers and scientists, and includes detailed, readily applicable protocols. It focuses on 4 major themes, including the synthesis of nanosystems for controlled drug delivery, nanotechnology-enhanced sensing systems, the application of nanotechnologies to the synthesis of novel biomaterials, and safety issues related to the application of medicinal nanotechnology.
- Provides a comprehensive overview on how nanotechnology is being used to create new tissue engineering techniques
- Covers, in detail, the physicochemical fundamentals of bionanotechnologies
- Explores major applications in the fields of theranostics and tissue engineering
- Assesses important challenges and safety issues related to the implementation of nanotechnology in medicine
