Nanomaterials and Their Biological Applications

This book highlights the evolution of, and novel challenges currently facing, nanomaterials science, nanoengineering, and nanotechnology, with their applications and development in the biological and biomedical fields. Metal nanoparticles that have already found numerous applications in science and technology may be obtained in different ways. In the opening study included in Metal Nanoparticles: Properties, Synthesis and Applications, several factors affecting metal nanoparticle morphology. It gives details of different nanoscale and nanostructured materials syntheses, processing, characterization, applications, and considers improvements that can be made in nanostructured materials with their different biomedical applications. The book also briefly covers the different metal based nanomaterials properties, synthesis, characterizations and their potential biomedical applications. It will be particularly useful for reading and research purposes, especially for science, biotechnology and engineering students in academics as well as for industrial researchers.
