Synopsis:

Oxides for Medical Applications reviews the most important advances of oxides with optical, magnetic and electronic properties for biomedical applications. Owing to their unusual properties, oxides are expected to play a significant role in the prevention or early treatment of diseases. In addition to catalytically active artificial enzymes based on oxide materials―the book provides comprehensive coverage of the most relevant categories of oxide materials and their properties and applications. Since magnetic oxides are used extensively for a wide range of medical applications, there are numerous chapters that address these materials, including LSMO nanoparticles, ferrites, nanocatalysts, and more.

Finally, practical considerations for the translation of these materials from the lab to the clinic are reviewed, including biocompatibility and toxicity of oxide nanoparticles, making this a suitable resource for researchers and practitioners in materials science and engineering in academia and the clinic.

• Reviews the unique properties and synthesis strategies of oxide materials for medical applications
• Provides an overview of the most relevant medical applications of oxide materials such as their use in biosensing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and more
• Discusses practical considerations of the commercial translation of oxide materials, including their biocompatibility
