Recent advances in nanomedicine offer ground-breaking methods for 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.
