Soft Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications - Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Series Jose Callejas-fernandez

Marc Notes: ; 8; This edited collection looks at different soft nanoparticles and their current and potential uses in medicine and health including magnetoliposomes, micro/nanogels, polymeric micelles, DNA particles, dendrimers and bicelles.. Table of Contents: Introductory Aspects on Soft Nanoparticles; Experimental Techniques Used for the Characterization of Soft Nanoparticles; The Original Magnetoliposomes: From the Physicochemical Basics to Theranostic Nanomedicine; Nanogels for Drug Delivery: The Key Role of Nanogel-Drug Interactions; Polymeric Micelles; DNA Particles; Dendrimers; Bicellar Systems: Characterization and Skin Applications; Soft Hybrid Nanoparticles: From Preparation to Biomedical Applications; Computer Simulations of Soft Nanoparticles and Their Interactions with DNA-Like Polyelectrolytes; Jacket Description/Back: Nanoparticles are attractive for many biomedical applications such as imaging, therapeutics and diagnostics. This new book will look at different soft nanoparticles and their current and potential uses in medicine and health including magnetoliposomes, micro/nanogels, polymeric micelles, DNA particles, dendrimers and bicelles. Each chapter will provide a description of the synthesis of the particles and focus on the techniques used to characterize the size, shape, surface charge, internal structure, and surface microstructure of the nanoparticles together with modeling and simulation methods. By giving a strong physical-chemical approach to the topic, readers will gain a good background into the subject and an overview of recent developments. The multidisciplinary point of view makes the book suitable for postgraduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry, and biology interested in soft matter and its uses.

Contributor Bio:  O'Brien, Paul Paul O'Brien is a writer from Wexford, Ireland. In the last fifteen years he has written sixteen plays and two screenplays. He has been commissioned or produced by The Abbey, Druid, Red Kettle Theatre Company, Town Hall Theatre, Galway and Spare Key Productions in New York.
