Nanoemulsions are produced by mixing an oil phase with an aqueous
phase under shear pressure. This procedure yields uniform
populations of oil droplets ranging in diameter from 200 to 8 nm
that are kinetically stable colloidal substances with enhanced
properties compared to the conventional emulsion substances.
Nanoemulsions have broad potential applications in agriculture,
food, health, and biomedical sciences. Nanoemulsion Applications in
Agriculture, Food, Health, and Biomedical Sciences focuses on the
aspects of nanoemulsion-like synthesis, characterization, and more
and examines recent trends in their applications within a variety
of relevant fields. Nanoemulsions have broad application in many
different fields; without emulsification, process product
development would not be possible. Covering topics such as cancer
treatment, healthcare applications, and food manufacturing, this
book is essential for scientists, doctors, researchers,
post-graduate students, medical students, government officials,
hospital directors, professors, and academicians.

hardware arrangement for bio-signal detection. The computational
functionality of MATLAB is verified for viewing, digital
filtration, and feature extraction of acquired bio-signals. This
book demonstrates a method of providing a relatively cost-effective
solution to human physiology real-time monitoring, processing, and
interpretation that is more realizable and would directly benefit a
larger population of patients.

Biomedical Applications of Electrospinning and Electrospraying
describes the principles and laboratory set up for electrospinning
and electrospraying, addressing a range of biomedical applications.
Sections cover novel combinational approaches, such as
electrospinning/spraying and 3D printing. Electrospinning has
evolved from being a technique to prepare random networks of
textile fibers to a technique to fabricate highly ordered patterns
of biomedical materials of defined scale. The technological
advancements in recent years with regard to the way the jet is
facilitated, how the jet path is controlled, and how the fibers are
collected have provided invaluable insights into controlled
fabrication of a material of choice. Additionally, the electrospray
technique has also evolved from being a technique to prepare food
formulations to a technique to prepare cell encapsulated beads for
transplantation in clinics. Several innovations in this line, such
as those leading to core-shell materials have tremendously changed
the way the technique is used. Thus, a combinational approach using
electrospinning, electrospraying and 3D printing has emerged.
