Antimicrobial Nanosystems: Fabrication and Development provides an
in-depth review of nanotechnological advancements in the fields of
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to counteract bacterial
infections and related health issues. Functionalized nanomaterials
and their processes are covered, along with the theory and
fabrication of antimicrobial nanosystems. The potential
applications of antimicrobial nanosystems are also discussed along
with their challenges and commercialization. This book discusses
the most frequent problems caused by resistant microorganisms and
difficult-to-treat bacteria and highlights the impact of recently
developed antimicrobial nanosystems. Various methodsto obtain
efficient nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties are
described, along with their advantages, challenges, and main
applications. The design of targeting antimicrobial therapeutics,
able to specifically detect pathogenic microorganisms and to act in
a very specific manner, is thoroughly investigated.
Functionalized Carbon Nanomaterials for Theranostic Applications
offers insights into the developments and trends that are
progressing fast in the field of functionalized carbon
nanomaterials-based devices as diagnostic tools for early stage
detection of human diseases. The book provides information on how
functionalized carbon nanomaterials are being used as the basis for
products, such as early disease diagnostic kits, quantum dots for
medical imaging and a growing list of other applications. Sections
cover different mechanical, absorption, optical and electrical
properties than those found in original nanomaterials. This is an
important reference source that will be valuable to materials
scientists, biomedical engineers and pharmaceutical scientists who
are looking to increase their understanding on how functionalized
carbon nanomaterials are being used for a variety of theranostic
applications.
Industrial Applications of Nanocrystals provides an overview of the
properties and industrial applications of nanocrystalline
materials. The aim of this book is to deliver advances in the use
of nanocrystals across various industrial sectors. Chapter topics
include approaches to the synthesis and green synthesis of
nanocrystals and the applications of nanocrystals in the
pharmaceutical, biomedical, environmental, catalysis,
electrochemical energy storage device, and emerging industries.
Nanocrystals are a major driver of technology and business in this
century and hold the promise of high-performance materials that
will significantly affect all aspects of society. Likewise,
nanocrystals are driving development and innovation in numerous
manufacturing sectors. However, complications keep nanocrystals
from making a greater impact on manufacturing. The lack of
information as well as the possibility of adverse influences on the
environment, human health, safety, and sustainability are still
major challenges. This book addresses these challenges for the use
of nanomaterials in major manufacturing sectors.
Industrial Applications of Nanoceramics shows the unique
processing, mechanical and surface characteristics of nanoceramics,
covering their industrial application areas. These include the
fabrication of capacitors, dense ceramics, corrosion-resistant
coatings, solid electrolytes for fuel cells, sensors, batteries,
cosmetic health, thermal barrier coatings, catalysts,
bioengineering, automotive engineering, optoelectronics, computers,
electronics, etc. This is an important reference source for
materials scientists and engineers who are seeking to understand
more about how nanoceramics are being used in a variety of industry
sectors. Nanoceramics have the ability to show improved and unique
properties, compared with conventional bulk ceramic materials.
Zirconia (ZrO2), alumina (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon
nitride (Si3N4) and titanium carbide fall into this category.
Medical Additive Manufacturing: Concepts and Fundamentals provides
an overview of the latest research in the field of additively
manufactured medical materials. It starts with a broad overview of
the current state of medical additive manufacturing, then dives
into cutting edge topics such as medical imaging technologies for
additive manufacturing and computer-aided design principles for
anatomic modeling. Following chapters discuss the state of additive
manufacturing in an array of medical fields such as radiology,
tissue engineering, nuclear medicine, orthopedics, surgery,
cardiology, neurology, optometry, obstetrics, veterinary medicine
and more. The book concludes with chapters discussing regulatory
considerations for additive manufacturing in hospitals and what the
future holds for the field.
