Reihe: Advance Materials Series

Advanced materials are attracting strong interest in thefundamental as well as applied sciences and are being extensivelyexplored for their potential usage in a range of healthcaretechnological and biological applications. Advanced HealthcareNanomaterials summarises the current status of knowledgein the fields of advanced materials for functional therapeutics,point-of-care diagnostics, translational materials, up and comingbio-engineering devices. The book highlights the key features whichenable engineers to design stimuli-responsive smart nanoparticles,novel biomaterials, nano/micro-devices for diagnosis, therapy(theranostics).The leading contributor researchers cover thefollowing topics:
* State-of-the-art of biomaterials for human health
* Micro- and nanoparticles and their application inbiosensors
* The role of immunoassays
* Stimuli-responsive smart nanoparticles
* Diagnosis and treatment of cancer
* Advanced materials for biomedical application and drugdelivery
* Nanoparticles for diagnosis and/or treatment of Alzheimersdisease
* Hierarchical modelling of elastic behavior of human dentaltissue
* Biodegradable porous hydrogels
* Hydrogels in tissue engineering, drug delivery and woundcare
* Modified natural zeolites
* Supramolecular hydrogels based on cyclodextrinpoly(pseudo)rotaxane
* Polyhydroxyalkanoate-based biomaterials
* Biomimetic molecularly imprinted polymers
The book is written for readers from diverse backgrounds acrosschemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medicalscience, pharmacy, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering. Itoffers a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on advancedmaterials for healthcare technology and applications.
