New Trends in Smart Nanostructured Biomaterials in Health Sciences
provides guidance on the design and synthesis of nanostructured
smart biomaterials, as well as the resultant therapeutic effects
and associated biomedical applications of these novel materials.
The book provides readers with a deeper understanding of these
novel biomaterials and aids them in making informed decisions when
selecting appropriate materials for tissue engineering and cancer
therapy applications. It will be of specific interest to materials
scientists, biomedical engineers, oncological scientists, tissue
engineers and those working in regenerative medicine.
Nanostructured smart materials have the special ability to respond
to changes in the cell microenvironment, allowing for robust,
biocompatible and rapidly adaptable, therapeutic and restorative
action against a range of ailments. These materials are thus ideal
candidates for use in tissue engineering and cancer therapy due to
the varying nature of the cell microenvironment between persons,
tissues and cancers. This book covers the design, synthesis, unique
properties and application of smart biomaterials in these two key
topic areas of tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics.
Natural Polymers in Wound Healing and Repair: From Basic Concepts
to Emerging Trends presents comprehensive coverage on the
development and application of natural polymers in wound healing
and repair, including fundamental concepts, traditional approaches,
cutting-edge methods and emerging trends. The application of
natural polymers has evolved from their use in the simplest wound
management material, to drug eluting matrices, to cell-laden
constructs, and to 3D bio-printed skin equivalents. This book
reflects the remarkable progress that has been made in recent years
in this innovative field. This is an essential resource for
researchers, scientists, and advanced students across polymer
science, biomaterials, bio-based and sustainable materials,
biomedicine, biomedical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and materials
science and engineering. It will also be valuable to R&D
professionals, scientists, technologists and all those working in a
medical setting who are interested in the latest developments in
advanced materials for wound management, healing and repair.
Dynamic soft materials that have the ability to expand and
contract, change stiffness, self-heal or dissolve in response to
environmental changes, are of great interest in applications
ranging from biosensing and drug delivery to soft robotics and
tissue engineering. This book covers the state-of-the-art and
current trends in the very active and exciting field of bioinspired
soft matter, its fundamentals and comprehension from the
structural-property point of view, as well as materials and
cutting-edge technologies that enable their design, fabrication,
advanced characterization and underpin their biomedical
applications. The book contents are supported by illustrated
examples, schemes, and figures, offering a comprehensive and
thorough overview of key aspects of soft matter. The book will
provide a trusted resource for undergraduate and graduate students
and will extensively benefit researchers and professionals working
across the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, polymer chemistry,
materials science and engineering, nanosciences, nanotechnologies,
nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and medical sciences.
