Description
Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Functionalization, Properties, and Biomedical Applications comprehensively and systematically details the fundamental aspects of nanoparticles, addressing the synthesis techniques, functionalization strategies, unique properties, and their transformative role in biomedical applications. Divided by inorganic and organic nanoparticle classes, this book guides the reader through each nanoparticle type, from magnetic, gold, and quantum dot nanoparticles to protein-based nanoparticles, dendrimers, and liposomes. This book will be useful to researchers, academics, and post-graduate students in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and biomedical science.
Synthesis techniques and unique properties are covered in detail, along with how each of these best suits each biomedical application. In addition, advantages and challenges are analyzed, enabling the reader to make informed materials selections. With a strong focus on materials development, this book provides a holistic introduction to this topic, along with a look to current research and future opportunities. .
