Advanced Healthcare Materials

Advanced materials are attracting strong interest in the fundamental as well as applied sciences and are being extensively explored for their potential usage in a range of healthcare technological and biological applications. Advanced Healthcare Nanomaterials summarises the current status of knowledge in the fields of advanced materials for functional therapeutics, point-of-care diagnostics, translational materials, up and coming bio-engineering devices. The book highlights the key features which enable engineers to design stimuli-responsive smart nanoparticles, novel biomaterials, nano/micro-devices for diagnosis, therapy (theranostics).The leading contributor researchers cover the following topics:

State-of-the-art of biomaterials for human health
Micro- and nanoparticles and their application in biosensors
The role of immunoassays
Stimuli-responsive smart nanoparticles
Diagnosis and treatment of cancer
Advanced materials for biomedical application and drug delivery
Nanoparticles for diagnosis and/or treatment of Alzheimers disease
Hierarchical modelling of elastic behavior of human dental tissue
Biodegradable porous hydrogels
Hydrogels in tissue engineering, drug delivery and wound care
Modified natural zeolites
Supramolecular hydrogels based on cyclodextrin poly(pseudo)rotaxane
Polyhydroxyalkanoate-based biomaterials
Biomimetic molecularly imprinted polymers

The book is written for readers from diverse backgrounds across chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science, pharmacy, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering. It offers a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on advanced materials for healthcare technology and applications.
