Nanomaterials for Bioreactors and Bioprocessing Applications
explores the potential of nanomaterials in improving the efficiency
of bioprocessing industries and next-generation bioreactors. The
book provides information on various newly synthesized
nanomaterials in bioreactors for scaling up the bioprocess to an
industrial level, the criteria and properties of nanomaterials to
be used in bioprocessing, advantages, challenges while using the
nanomaterials, and the economic constraints. In addition, the book
also discusses the fate of various nanomaterials in the bioprocess,
the chances of product contamination and its prevention. This book
is an important reference source for materials scientists and
biomedical engineers information on the synthesized nanomaterials
that are available for bioreactors and bioprocesses, and the
various optimized conditions and precautions to be taken.
Nanomaterials for Biocatalysis explains the fundamental design
concepts and emerging applications of nanoscale biocatalysts, such
as bioconversions, bioelectronics, biosensors, biocomputing and
therapeutic applications. Nano-biocatalysts refers to the
incorporation of enzymes into nanomaterials. These enzyme-enhanced
nanocarriers have many advantages, including low mass transfer
limitation, high enzyme capacity, better stabilization, and the
formation of single-enzyme nanoparticles. Smart nanocontainers have
been developed for the smart release of their embedded active
substances. These smart releases can be obtained by using smart
coatings as their outer nanoshells. In addition, these
nanocontainers could protect the enzymes from chemical or metabolic
alterations on their delivering pathways towards the target. This
is an important reference source for materials scientists and
chemical engineers who want to know more about how nanomaterials
are being used for biocatalysis applications.
Smart Nanomaterials for Bioencapsulation focuses on the
fundamentals, synthesis methods and matrix design for the
encapsulation of drugs, drug release, food and nutraceuticals,
mechanisms of nano- encapsulated drugs on liposomes, micelles,
silica composites, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, and protein
inorganic nanohybrids. Providing detailed information on the
encapsulation of food and drug derivatives, the book helps create
new and modern approaches for both pharmaceutical and nutritional
science. The target delivery of pharmacological agents, as well as
food additives under various conditions is covered, including
sections on systemic release of drug molecules, minimum loss at
non-target sites, the accumulation of diseased tissue or organs,
and more. Smart nanomaterial-based nanocarriers protect the loaded
molecules from premature degradation in the biological environment
and enhance bioavailability for cellular uptake. The tuned
properties of smart nanomaterials, such as porosity, pore-volume,
surface area-to-volume ratio, coating with inert and labile
materials, and more help determine the in vivo performance of the
bioencapsulated food and drug derivatives.
