DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jxp2jj/intelligent_surfac) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Intelligent Surfaces in Biotechnology: Scientific and Engineering Concepts, Enabling Technologies, and Translation to Bio-Oriented Applications" to their offering.
A Comprehensive Overview of Smart and Responsive Surfaces in Biotechnology and Their Applications
A wave of recent advances in cell biology, biophysics, chemistry, and materials science has enabled the development of a new generation of smart biomaterials. Intelligent Surfaces in Biotechnology: Scientific and Engineering Concepts, Enabling Technologies, and Translation to Bio-Oriented Applications provides readers with a comprehensive overview of surface modifications and their applications, including coverage of the physico-chemical properties, characterization methods, smart coating technologies, and demonstration of performance in vitro and in vivo.
The first part of the book covers applications in the fields of biosensing and biodiagnostics, while the second part focuses more on coatings for medical devices, drug delivery, and tailored cell-surface interactions. The book explores intelligent surface applications such as tissue engineering, drug targeting and delivery, wound healing and anti-infection strategies, biosensors, nanopatterning, and bioinspired design of novel responsive materials and multifunctional surfaces.
Designed to aid scientists and engineers in understanding the rapidly developing field of biofunctional surfaces, Intelligent Surfaces in Biotechnology is an edited volume with each chapter written by a respected expert and featuring examples taken from the most state-of-the-art developments in the discipline.
Key Topics Covered:
1. Stimulus-Responsive Polymers as Intelligent Coatings for Biosensors: Architectures, Response Mechanisms, and Applications
2. Smart Surfaces for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
3. Design of Intelligent Surface Modifications and Optimal Liquid Handling for Nanoscale Bioanalytical Sensors
4. Intelligent Surfaces for Field-Effect Transistor-Based Nanobiosensing
5. Supported Lipid Bilayers: Intelligent Surfaces for Ion Channel Recordings
6. Antimicrobial and Anti-Inflammatory Intelligent Surfaces
7. Intelligent Polymer Thin Films and Coatings for Drug Delivery
8. Micro- and Nanopatterning of Active Biomolecules and Cells
9. Responsive Polymer Coatings for Smart Applications in Chromatography, Drug Delivery Systems, and Cell Sheet Engineering
