Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-based Nanomaterials : Synthesis and Biomedical Applications

A comprehensive guide to an explosively popular and transformative technology

Nanotechnology has revolutionized the manipulation of matter at the molecular level, with extraordinary consequences for a huge range of technological and scientific fields. Metallic, magnetic and carbon-based nanomaterials have been at the forefront of this revolution, with their impact felt especially strongly in biomedical industries. The future of drug delivery, imaging, diagnostics, and more will be transformed by nanotechnology and its ever-growing applications.

Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-Based Nanomaterials offers a comprehensive introduction to these materials and their recent developments. Beginning with the foundational concepts of nanotechnology, its characterization, and its methods, the book moves through major categories of nanotechnology in turn. Detailed discussion of applications and future areas of research rounds out an indispensable volume.

Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-Based Nanomaterials readers will also find:

• Fully up-to-date data on major nanotechnology synthesis techniques
• Detailed discussion of nanotechnologies including quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, graphene, and many more
• Analysis of applications including tumor biology investigation, in vivo animal imaging, and others

Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-Based Nanomaterials is ideal for graduate students in pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering, and materials sciences. It is also a useful reference book for researchers working in the areas of biomedical engineering and nanomaterials synthesis, as well as those working in toxicology, especially nanotoxicology.
