the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of some fatal diseases.
Amongst the most promising nanomaterials being developed are
magnetic nanomaterials, including magnetic nanoparticles and
magnetic nanosensors. Some nanomagnetic medical applications are
already commercially available with more set to be released over
the coming years.
Nanomedicine, Design and Applications of Magnetic
Nanomaterials, Nanosensors and Nanosystems presents a
comprehensive overview of the biomedical applications of various
types of functional magnetic materials. The book provides an
introduction to magnetic nanomaterials before systematically
discussing the individual materials, their physical and chemical
principles, fabrication techniques and biomedical applications.
This methodical approach allows this book to be used both as a
textbook for beginners to the subject and as a convenient reference
for professionals in the field.
* Discusses magnetic nanoparticles including nanowires,
nanotubes, zero-dimensional nanosperes and naturally existing
magnetosomes.
* Examines intrinsically smart magnetic materials and describes
their part in the development of biomedical sensors and biochips,
which are often used in biomedical tests.
* Integrates the research efforts of different disciplines
- from materials sciences to biology and electrical
engineering to medicine - in order to provide a unified
and authoritative guide to a richly interdisciplinary field.
This volume is of great appeal to students and researchers in
the fields of electrical and electronic engineering, biomedical
engineering, nanotechnology, materials science, physics, medicine
and biology. It is also of interest to practising engineers,
materials scientists, chemists and research medical doctors
involved in the development of magnetic materials and structures
for biomedical applications.
