Synopsis

Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Functionalization, Properties, and Biomedical Applications comprehensively and systematically details the fundamental aspects of nanoparticles, addressing the synthesis techniques, functionalization strategies, unique properties, and their transformative role in biomedical applications. Divided by inorganic and organic nanoparticle classes, this book guides the reader through each nanoparticle type, from magnetic, gold, and quantum dot nanoparticles to protein-based nanoparticles, dendrimers, and liposomes. This book will be useful to researchers, academics, and post-graduate students in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and biomedical science.

Synthesis techniques and unique properties are covered in detail, along with how each of these best suits each biomedical application. In addition, advantages and challenges are analyzed, enabling the reader to make informed materials selections. With a strong focus on materials development, this book provides a holistic introduction to this topic, along with a look to current research and future opportunities. .

• Reviews various synthesis methods for nanoparticles, ranging from chemical and physical processes to cutting-edge techniques like green synthesis and microfluidics
• Details the optical, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical behaviors of different nanoparticles, as well as various characterization techniques
• Explores the biomedical applications of nanoparticles, assessing relevant toxicity and biocompatibility issues and offering insights into the regulatory aspects of nanoparticle research

About the Authors

Abdelhamid Elaissari is a Research Director (DR1) at CNRS, University of Lyon-1, France, and received his undergraduate education from Agadir University, Morocco, in 1988. He joined CNRS in 1991 and then ISA (Institute for Analytical Science) in 2021 for developing smart nanoparticles integrated into microsystems for biosensors, samples preparation, and for connected technologies.

Sumera Khizar is a Postdoctoral Researcher at ISA (Institute for Analytical Science), Claude Bernard University of Lyon-1, France. Her research work is focused on the synthesis of organic and inorganic nanoparticles for bionanotechology and mainly for theranostic applications. She is also conducting DNA/nanoparticle interactions for gene delivery in collaboration with industries.
