Nanomaterial technologies and biomedical applications

Nanomaterial technologies can be used to fabricate high-performance biomaterials with tailored physical, chemical, and biological properties. They are therefore an area of interest for emerging biomedical technologies such as scaffolding, tissue regeneration, and controlled drug delivery. Nanomaterials in tissue engineering explores the fabrication of a variety of nanomaterials and the use of these materials across a range of tissue engineering applications.

Part one: fabrication of nanomaterials for tissue engineering

This section focuses on the fabrication of nanomaterials for tissue engineering applications and includes chapters on engineering nanoporous biomaterials, layer-by-layer self-assembly techniques for nanostructured devices, and the synthesis of carbon based nanomaterials.

Part two: applications in soft tissue engineering

Part two highlights the application of nanomaterials in soft tissue engineering and includes chapters on cardiac, neural, and cartilage tissue engineering.

Part three: applications in hard tissue engineering

Finally, the use of nanomaterials in hard tissue engineering applications, including bone, dental, and craniofacial tissue engineering, is discussed in part three.
