Springer Bio-Inspired Nanotechnology: From Surface Analysis to Applications

Focusing on bio-inspired and biomimetic methods for nanomaterial fabrication and activation, this book examines binding of biomolecules to inorganic structures, nanomaterial function, applications in energy harvesting/storage, biomedical diagnostics and more. Review “The book is a true multidisciplinary one, covering chemistry, physics, surface science, structural and molecular biology, genetics, materials science, computational modelling and informatics. … Each chapter has a very reach bibliography as well as clear and helpful illustrations further contributing to this book which, as a whole, is a valuable scientific product.” (Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 6 (1-2), 2015) From the Back Cover This book focuses on the use of bio-inspired and biomimetic methods for the fabrication and activation of nanomaterials. This includes studies concerning the binding of the biomolecules to the surface of inorganic structures, structure/function relationships of the final materials, and extensive discussions on the final applications of such biomimetic materials in unique applications including energy harvesting/storage, biomedical diagnostics, and materials assembly. This book also: ·          Covers the sustainable features of bio-inspired nanotechnology ·          Includes studies on the unique applications of biomimetic materials, such as energy harvesting and biomedical diagnostics Bio-Inspired Nanotechnology: From Surface Analysis to Applications is an ideal book for researchers, students, nanomaterials engineers, bioengineers, chemists, biologists, physicists, and medical researchers.
