Nanostructured Biomaterials And Their Applications

This book explores a range of important topics related to innovations in nanostructured biomaterials technologies and the development of new types of nanostructured biomaterials. The chapters consider the current state of the art in the development of nanostructured biomaterials, providing a handy reference on current topics in the field. Nanostructured Biomaterials and Their Applications serves as a unique source for the materials science community on topics at the interface of biomaterials and nanotechnology. Applications of nanostructured biomaterials for antimicrobial, anti-cancer, bone repair, and sensing applications are considered.
