Nanobiomaterials in Galenic Formulations and Cosmetics: Applications of Nanobiomaterials

by Alexandru Grumezescu (Editor)

Overview

Nanobiomaterials in Galenic Formulations and Cosmetics: Applications of Nanobiomaterials is one of the first books on the market related to the application of nanotechnology in galenic formulations and cosmetics. This book provides the results of current research for those working in an applied setting. The advantage of having all this information in one coherent text is the focused nature of the chapters and the ease of which this information can be accessed.

This collection of titles brings together many of the novel applications these materials have in biology, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each application and the perspectives of the technologies based on these findings. At the moment there is no other comparable book series covering all the subjects approached in this set of titles.

• Offers an updated and highly structured reference material for students, researchers, and practitioners working in biomedical, biotechnological, and engineering fields
• Serves as a valuable resource of recent scientific progress, along with most known applications of nanomaterials in the biomedical field
• Features novel opportunities and ideas for developing or improving technologies in nanomedicine and nanobiology
