The scope of nanotechnology in medical applications has expanded fast in
the last two decades. With their unprecedented material properties,
nanoscale materials present with unorthodox opportunities in a wide
range of domains, including drug delivery and medical imaging. This book
assembles the various facets of nanomedicine while discussing key issues
such as physicochemical properties that enhance the appeal of
nanomedicine.
The book is an excellent resource for physicians, PhDs, and postdocs
involved in nanomedicine research to learn and understand the scope and
complexity of the subject. It begins with a short history of
nanotechnology, followed by a discussion on the fundamental concepts and
extraordinary properties of nanoscale materials, and then slowly unfolds
into multiple chapters illustrating the uses of various nanomaterials in
drug delivery, sensing, and imaging.
