Colloids show great potential in a wide variety of applications,
including drug delivery and medical imaging, and the design and
fabrication of colloid systems has attracted considerable interest
in the research community. Colloids in Biotechnology describes
developments in the field of biotechnological applications in the
past decade and bridges the gap between these research efforts and
commercially viable options. Highlights the role of colloids in a
plethora of biotechnical applications Striking a balance between
theory and experiment, between principles and applications, and
between molecular and physical approaches to the subject, the book
assembles contributions from an international community of colloid
scientists to provide a comprehensive reference on the role of
colloids in biotechnology and biomedicine. The authors discuss new
types of biosurfactants; mixtures of surfactants; and peptides,
proteins, and polyelectrolytes. They also describe the formation
and properties of magnetic colloids and review their applications
in chemical biology and medicine. They highlight current progress
in the design of self-assembled materials for biotechnology, and
they also cover the formation of nanofibres and the use of sol-gel
technology in biology. Contains contributions from a diverse team
of researchers The chapter authors have been given the freedom to
present the spectrum of the relevant science, from pure to applied,
in their particular topic. The compilation of this vast experience
makes this text a valuable reference for those working in research
and development in a range of technologies as well as academic
scientists in the colloid and surface science field.
