There is a continuous exchange of ideas taking place at the
border of the biological and physical sciences in many areas of
nanoscience. Nanotechnology uses biomimetic or bio-inspired
processes to produce nanosized materials for applications in
biology and other fields. In return, the fruits of nanotechnology
are applied to expanding areas of biomedical and therapeutic
processes, such as new nanostructures and scaffolds for tissue
engineering or targeted drug delivery. In this way,
nanobiotechnology serves as a bridge between nano and bio, with
nanoscale materials providing the building blocks for the
construction of the "bridge." Nanobiomaterials: Development and
Applications gives you a broad, interdisciplinary view of current
developments as well as new findings and applications in
bionanomaterials. The book brings together the work of
international contributors who are actively engaged at the
forefront of research in their respective disciplines.
Organized into four parts, this book explores the preparation
and characterization of nanomaterials, new preparation routes of
soft nanomaterials using biomolecules, nano- and microscale
hybridization of materials, and nanotoxicity. The contributors
cover a diverse set of topics, including:
- Biomimetic synthesis
- Bioimaging and cancer diagnosis
- Photodynamic therapy
- Bioconjugated carbon nanotube DNA transfection and tumor
targeting
- Magnetically induced hyperthermia
- Cytotoxity mechanisms and their potential use in therapy
- Virus-enabled manufacturing of functional nanomaterials
- Biocatalitic nanosystems and enzyme immobilization
- Tissue engineering
- The fabrication of hybrid microswimmers
- Bionanomaterial applications in environmental remediation
Each chapter is richly illustrated and includes an extensive
list of references to guide you toward further research. Combining
bionanomaterial development and applications, the book clearly
demonstrates the importance of these materials to biotechnology,
biomedicine, and environmental remediation. It offers an accessible
overview for students, industrial researchers, pharmaceutical
innovators, medical and public health personnel, environmental
scientists and engineers, and anyone interested in this
interdisciplinary field.
