This book provides in-depth knowledge about the fabrications,
structures, properties and applications of three outstanding
electrochemically engineered nanoporous materials including porous
silicon, nanoporous alumina and nanotubular titania. The book
integrates three major themes describing these materials. The first
theme is on porous silicon reviewing the methods for preparation by
electrochemical etching, properties and methods for surface
functionalization relevant for biosensing applications. Biomedical
applications of porous silicon are major focus, described in
several chapters reviewing recent developments on bioanalysis,
emerging capture probes and drug delivery. The second theme on
nanoporous alumina starts with describing the concept of
self-organized electrochemical process used for synthesis nanopore
and nanotube structures of valve metal oxides and reviewing recent
development and progress on this field. The following chapters are
focused mainly on optical properties and biosensing application of
nanoporous alumina providing the reader with the depth of
understanding of the structure controlled optical and photonic
properties and design of optical biosensing devices using different
detection principles such as photoluminescence, surface plasmon
resonance, reflective spectrometry, wave guiding, Raman scattering
etc. The third theme is focused on nanotubular titania reviewing
three key applications including photocatalysis, solar cells and
drug delivery. The book represents an important resource for
academics, researchers, industry professionals, post-graduate and
high-level undergraduate students providing them with both an
overview of the current state-of-the-art on these materials and
their future developments.
This book gives detailed information about the fabrication,
properties and applications of nanoporous alumina. Nanoporous
anodic alumina prepared by low-cost, simple and scalable
electrochemical anodization process due to its unique structure and
properties have attracted several thousand publications across many
disciplines including nanotechnology, materials science,
engineering, optics, electronics and medicine. The book
incorporates several themes starting from the understanding
fundamental principles of the formation nanopores and theoretical
models of the pore growth. The book then focuses on describing soft
and hard modification techniques for surface and structural
modification of pore structures to tailor specific sensing,
transport and optical properties of nano porous alumina required
for diverse applications. These broad applications including
optical biosensing, electrochemical DNA biosensing, molecular
separation, optofluidics and drug delivery are reviewed in
separated book chapters. The book appeals to researchers, industry
professionals and high-level students.
Advanced Porous Biomaterials for Drug Delivery Applications probes

vivo approaches. Details how advanced porous biomaterial-assisted
systems improve essential properties in drug delivery applications
Explains how advanced porous biomaterials systems are being used
and explored to improve overall performances of drug delivery
systems in mitigating a variety of diseases Emphasizes major
applications in drug delivery such as controlled release, cancer
therapy, and targeted delivery, and with focus on oral, topical,
and transdermal applications Focuses on both naturally available
and synthetic low-cost advanced porous biomaterials and their role
in enhancing important parameters in drug delivery applications
Accessible to readers with bio and non-bio backgrounds This book is
an ideal reference for academics, researchers, and industry
professionals in the interdisciplinary fields of biomedicine and
biomedical engineering, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and
chemistry.

Diatoms are single cell algae composed of silica. They represent
one of the most outstanding natural materials with exceptional
structural, mechanical, optical, photonic and chemical properties
optimized through millions years of evolution. The unique nano and
micro silica structures of the material combined with its
availability as a low cost mineral from diatomaceous earth are
attractive for solving many of today's environmental, energy and
health problems. Diatom Nanotechnology provides a comprehensive
overview of the material and its uses. The first part of the book
looks at the distinctive porous silica structure of diatoms, the
mechanism of their formation and their properties. Individual
chapters then explore the broad range of their applications in
nanotechnology including nanofabrication, optical biosensors, gas
sensors, water purifications, photonics, drug delivery, batteries,
solar cells, supercapacitors, new adsorbents and composite
materials. With contributions from leading international experts,
the book represents an important resource for academics,
researchers, industry professionals, postgraduate and advanced
level undergraduate students providing them with the latest
developments on this emerging and dynamic field.
