This handbook volume is part of the Reference Series: Micro/Nano Technologies. This individual volume provides a comprehensive, self-contained, and authoritative knowledge in nanomedicine. It covers the theoretical and practical aspects of functionalizations of nanoparticles as nanomedicine, including surface activation, characterization, and microemulsion systems. As a Springer Major Reference Work it is continuously updated online, allowing newcomers and other readers to keep in touch with the most up-to-date information.
The book is particularly recommended to undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, scientists, and field experts. It will inspire innovations in the highly interdisciplinary field of nanomedicine.
Nano medicine materials.- Medicine Targeting technologies.- Nano technology for analysis and diagnosis.- Preparation and Characterization of nano particles.- Assembly technologies of nanomedicine.- Safety and ethics of nanomedicine.
