Analytical Techniques for Biomedical Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is essential in the development of advanced technologies for medicine and healthcare. Such developments require advanced surface functionalized hybrid materials for targeted biomedical applications. Nano-biotechnology assisted methodologies are gaining attention due to their performance and uses in the detection, monitoring, and management of targeted diseases. Yet, the advances in these materials and nano-biotechnologies depend on the ability to study them using advanced analytical techniques.

This reference text provides a comprehensive overview of analytical techniques for applications in biomedical nanotechnology, at both the fundamental and applied level. The book provides a broad perspective of the development of analytical methods involved in materials science and electronics, focused on applications in nano-enabled biomedical research. It highlights the fundamentals and systematic developments of the techniques to achieve better characterisation, rapid diagnostics, cost-effective and user-friendly approaches, and state-of-art methodologies for personalised health management, and explains how this fundamental knowledge can be translated into applications in nano-enabled biomedical research.

The aim of the book is to provide researchers with the information needed to explore appropriate analytical techniques and procedures for using nanomaterials and advanced technologies for biomedical applications. The multidisciplinary readership includes chemists, biologists, physicists, materials scientists, engineers and information technologists. Bridging the gap between the disciplines is necessary to allow the development of next-generation technologies and advanced systems for targeted nano-enabled biomedical applications.
