Von der hinteren Coverseite

Nanoscale Thin Films for Biomedical Applications introduces nano-thin films to the reader, exploring the various methods of thin film fabrication, particularly nanoengineering of composites to ensure specialized properties to suit a range of applications. A wide selection of key biomedical applications is covered, including tunable drug delivery, wound healing, medical implants, and cancer treatment, with an important focus on antimicrobial effects and reduction of infection risk.

This book is a useful reference for those working in materials science, nanobiotechnology, biomedical engineering, and microbiology, with an interest in the development and application of nanoscale thin films in biomedicine.
