Synopsis

Metal Oxides for Biomedical and Biosensor Applications gives an in-depth overview of the emerging research in the biomedical and biosensing applications of metal oxides, including optimization of their surface and bulk properties. Sections cover biomedical applications of metal oxides for use in cell cultures, antibacterial and antimicrobial treatments, dental applications, drug delivery, cancer therapy, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, tissue engineering, and metal oxide-based biosensor development. As advanced and biofunctionalized nano/micro structured metal oxides are finding applications in microfluidics, optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, DNA-based biosensing, imaging, diagnosis and analysis, this book provides a comprehensive update on the topic.

Additional sections cover research challenges, technology limitations, and future trends in metal oxides and their composites regarding their usage in biomedical applications.

• Includes an overview of the important applications of metal oxides for biomedical and biosensing technologies
• Addresses the relationship between material properties, such as structure, morphology, composition and performance
• Reviews the design and fabrication strategies of metal oxides for use in medical and biosensing applications

From the Back Cover

Metal-oxides for Biomedical and Biosensor Applications gives an in-depth overview of the emerging research in the biomedical and biosensing applications of metal oxides, including optimization of their surface and bulk properties.

First, there is a general discussion of the biomedical applications of metal oxides for use in cell cultures, antibacterial and antimicrobial treatments, dental application, drug delivery, cancer therapy, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, and tissue engineering. Then, metal oxide-based biosensor development is reviewed.

Advanced and biofunctionalized nano/micro structured metal oxides are finding applications in microfluidics, optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, DNA-based biosensing. Imaging, diagnosis and analysis of the data from these sensors are also touched on. Finally, rational design strategies for metal oxides for fabrication of biosensors are reviewed with emphasis on the relationship between structure, morphology and composition to the performance of metal oxides for biomedical and biosensing applications.

Additional relevant issues concerning the research challenges, technology limitations, and future trends in metal oxides and their composites towards biomedical applications are also discussed.
