Elsevier Low-Dimensional Materials, Systems, and Applications, Volume 2: Principles, Methods, and Approaches in Biomedicine and Bioengineering (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials)

Low-Dimensional Materials, Systems, and Applications, Volume 2: Principles, Methods, and Approaches in Biomedicine and Bioengineering showcases the complexities and uniqueness of low-dimensional materials and highlights the most recent discoveries in the fields of biomedicine and bioengineering. Low-dimensional nanoscale materials are challenging as they exhibit properties distinctly different from their bulk counterparts. There is an exponential increase of reactivity at the molecular level due to high surface-to-volume ratios in these materials, and not only are their electronic, optical, and chemical properties different, so too are their mechanical characteristics. This book highlights the state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental descriptions of the complexities, unique properties, and latest applications of low-dimensional materials with a particular focus on the fields of biomedicine and bioengineering. The book is primarily for researchers working on the simulation, fabrication, analysis, and uses of low-dimensional nanoscale materials, including biotechnologists, materials scientists, and chemists. Serves as a comprehensive ready reference for beginners, researchers, and expert practitioners working on the understanding and manipulation of low-dimensional structures in biomedicine and bioengineering Presents the latest theoretical and experimental approaches and complexities of low-dimensional materials research Features contributions from leading experts in the field of low-dimensional materials
