Majosta Recent Advances In Polymers & Nanotechnology

The straightforward format of this book makes it an easy read. It is written in a straightforward and clear style, making it accessible to a broad audience of students and academics. The areas covered in this book include the maghemite nanoparticles with very high AC-losses for application in specific cell marking and separation, cancer theranostics, neurodegenerative disorders, RF-magnetic hyperthermia, and magnetic scaffolds entriched with bioactive nanoparticles for tissue engineering. This book provides an overview of various functional polymers and particles such as polyacrolein nano/micro/macro-beads, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, and proteinoid polymers and nanocapsules containing agrochemicals, specific hemoperfusion to remove undesired drugs from whole blood, and also studied the radiopaque iodinated copolymeric nanoparticles for x-ray imaging applications. Characterization and antibacterial properties of N-Halamine derivatized cross-linked polymethacrylamide nanoparticles is also explained in detail in this book. This kind of regenerated chloramine nanoparticles are designed for preparation of durable anti-biofouling, anti-microbial, nanocoatings onto substrates such as plastics for preventing nosocomial infections in the health-care environment, by controlled release of activated Cl in contact with microorganisms. This is a fairly unique book in terms of the depth and complexity with which the subject is discussed. Tables, equations, and approximately one hundred illustrations are used to illustrate the data.
