(Nanocarbon Chemistry and Interfaces) 1st Edition
by Yuen Y. Hui (Editor), Huang-Cheng Chang (Editor), Haifeng Dong (Editor), Xueji Zhang (Editor)
A comprehensive reference on biochemistry, bioimaging, bioanalysis, and therapeutic applications of carbon nanomaterials
Carbon
nanomaterials have been widely applied for biomedical applications in
the past few decades, because of their unique physical properties,
versatile functionalization chemistry, and biological compatibility.
This book provides background knowledge at the entry level into the
biomedical applications of carbon nanomaterials, focusing on three
applications: bioimaging, bioanalysis, and therapy.
Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis and Therapy
begins with a general introduction to carbon nanomaterials for
biomedical applications, including a discussion about the pros and cons
of various carbon nanomaterials for the respective therapeutic
applications. It then goes on to cover fluorescence imaging; deep tissue
imaging; photoacoustic imaging; pre-clinical/clinical bioimaging
applications; carbon nanomaterial sensors for cancer and disease
diagnosis; targeted cancer therapy; and photothermal/photodynamic
therapy. Each chapter briefly introduces the biomedical application and
emphasizes the most appropriate carbon nanomaterial(s) for the
application.
- Provides an introduction to the biomedical
applications of carbon nanomaterials for early-career scientists, as
well as background and context for mid-career scientists and researchers
- Contains four sections covering biochemistry, bioimaging, bioanalysis, and therapeutic applications of carbon nanomaterials
- Presented by experts who have strong background in the field of nanotechnology for biomedical applications
- Covers
a hot area of research which has very unique physical properties,
versatile functionalization chemistry, and biological compatibility
Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis and Therapy
is an excellent resource for academic researchers and industrial
scientists working on preparation and bio-application of carbon
nanomaterials, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology.
