Nanomaterials for Medical Applications Summary

Nanomaterials for Medical Applications by Zoraida Aguilar (Director of Research and Development, Ocean Nanotech, LLC, Springdale, Arkansas, USA)

This title covers recent advances in a variety of biomedical applications of nanostructured materials, as the field evolves from prototype device to real-world application. It presents the main types of nanomaterial used in medical application today: semiconductor nanomaterials, Magnetic nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, Carbon nanomaterials, Hydrogel nanocomposites, Liposomes, Dendrimers, Polymer nanocomposites, and Biodegradable polymers. Structurally the work is demarcated into the six most popular areas of research:(1) biocompatibility of nanomaterials with living organisms in their various manifestations(2) nanobiosensors for clinical diagnostics, detecting biomolecules which are useful in the clinical diagnosis of genetic, metabolically acquired, induced or infectious disease(3) targeted drug delivery for nanomaterials in their various modifications(4) nanomedical devices and structures which are used in the development of implantable medical devices and structures such as nanorobots(5) nanopharmacology, as novel nanoparticles are increasingly engineered to diagnose conditions and recognize pathogens, identify ideal pharmaceutical agents to treat the condition or pathogens, fuel high-yield production of matched pharmaceuticals (potentially in vivo), locate, attach or enter target tissue, structures or pathogens; and dispense the ideal mass of matched biological compound to the target regions(6) nanotoxicology and remediation, which focuses on finished and on-going various toxicity evaluations on various nanomaterials that are used and currently being developed for medical applications.

Nanomaterials for Medical Applications Reviews

...this ambitious volume succeeds in highlighting many of the current areas of interest in the field of nanomedicine, and benefits from a multi-disciplinary perspective and a balanced discussion of the many promises of nanomaterials in medicine as well the attendant safety issues. The book is recommended to young scientists entering into this exciting new field. --MaterialsViews.com, February 27, 2014 Aguilar...presents a broad review of nanomaterials and their application in medicine, from their properties and synthesis to existing and future commercial products. --Reference and Research Book News, February 2013
