MXene-Based Emerging 2D Materials for Biomedical Applications

This book provides a well-focused and comprehensive overview of the history and background of MXene-based materials and their structure, synthesis, properties, and modifications for making various advanced materials. It covers in-depth processing parameters for making MXene-based materials for high-end applications, especially in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

MXene-Based Emerging 2D Materials for Biomedical Applications examines the use of MXenes in the healthcare sector as therapeutic agents in pharmaceuticals and medicine. The book examines MXene use in diagnosis and analysis as biosensors, disease detection, gene and drug delivery, cancer therapy, bioimaging, and graphen oxide (GO)-based antibacterial materials. It also discusses its potential as a promising antioxidant and GO-based scaffold for cell culture. It provides a comprehensive introduction of advanced MXene-based materials for the biomedical field/health sector through an interdisciplinary approach of research in science and biomedical engineering. The authors indicate possible areas wherein the advanced MXene-based emerging materials can benefit combining diagnostics and therapeutic possibilities and multiplex systems, and highlights the unique and novel approach to developing advanced medical applications platforms and state-of-the-art directions for future research.

This book will guide bioengineering and material science students, scientists, and researchers to plan future research in this valuable field. It is a unique book that gives broad knowledge about MXene-based advanced materials under a single umbrella and demonstrates the usefulness of MXenes in the healthcare sector in multiple ways.
