Nanotubes and NanowiresNEW – Second Edition
C N Ram Rao and A Govindaraj, JNCASR, India
This fully revised new edition is an up-to-date survey of the research areas of carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanotubes and nanowires including synthesis, characterisation, properties and applications. An ideal resource both for graduates needing an introduction to the field of nanomaterials as well as for professionals and researchers in academia and industry.
Polymer-based Nanostructures: Medical ApplicationsEdited by Pavel Broz, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland
Nanotechnology is about small things and medicine usually deals with bigger things - with patients and their diseases. This expert book combines both viewpoints and presents successful applications of nanotechnological constructs in medicine and the science behind the tools. The interdisciplinary nature of this title will make it of interest to polymer chemists, pharmacologists, biologists and clinicians alike.
Nanocasting: A Versatile Strategy for Creating Nanostructured Porous MaterialsAn-Hui Lu, Dalian University of Technology, China Dongyuan Zhao, Fudan University, China Ying Wan, Shanghai Normal University, China
This book focuses on the synthesis of porous solids and introduces nanocasting from fundamental principles to their use in the synthesis of various materials. Special attention is given to new developments in this field and future perspectives and topics covered include inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, solution chemistry, sol-gel and interface science, acid-base equilibria, electrochemistry, biochemistry and confined synthesis.
Unravelling Single Cell Genomics: Micro and NanotoolsEdited by Nathalie Bontoux, Agilent Technologies, France Maria-Claude Potier, CNRS France Luce Dauphinot, CNRS, France
This unique introduction to the growing field of microfluidics applied to genomics provides an overview of the latest technologies and emphasizes its potential in answering important biological questions. Aimed predominantly at graduate students, this book provides all the necessary information to conduct experiments in microfluidics and molecular biology.
Phage BionanotechnologyEdited by Valery Petrenko, Auburn University, USA George Smith, University of Missouri, USA
Recently, phage - as a new kind of nanomaterial has attracted attention of specialists working in the boundaries of the field and even further afield from genetics and molecular biology, such as pharmaceutical science, material science, microelectronics, biosensors, detection, environmental sciences, etc. This comprehensive book, of value to researchers in all fields, brings the phage display technique closer to specialists in areas of medicine, science and technology, where phage-derived nanomaterials can be most beneficial.
Nanotechnologies in FoodEdited by Qasim Chaudhry, Laurence Castle, Richard Watkins, DEFRA Central Science Laboratory, UK
This book provides a source of much needed and up-to-date information on nano foods and food contact materials. Ideal for scientists, regulators, industrialists and consumers alike, this valuable book reviews current developments in the field and highlights areas of uncertainty in relation to safety of the consumer and the environment, and regulatory inadequacies and gaps. The authors provide a balanced and impartial view of the applications of the new technology in food and food packaging, as well as addressing broader consumer safety and regulatory issues.
Bionanodesign: Following Nature's TouchMaxim Ryadnov, National Physical Laboratory, UK
Bionanodesigns are improving our understanding of biomolecular folding and structure. This practical guide to molecular nanotechnology describes the concept of, and provides rules for, building nanostructures from basics. It is, in essence, a fully referenced review, placed in the context of de novo biomolecular design. Illustrations and references provide an essential support to the text and a special appendix lists "who's who in nanodesign". This comprehensive publication brings together contemporary approaches for designing nanostructures that employ naturally derived self-assembling motifs as synthetic platforms.
“Ryadnov’s review of bioinspired nanomaterials is a timely contribution to this fast-paced field.” Reviewed in Journal of the American Chemical Society
NanoscaleA new peer reviewed journal publishing experimental and theoretical work across the breath of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Lab on a ChipMicrofluidic & nanofluidic technologies for chemistry, physics, biology and bioengineering.
