Connecting theory with real-life applications, this is the first ever textbook to equip students with a comprehensive knowledge of all the key concepts in bionanotechnology. By bridging the interdisciplinary gap from which bionanotechnology emerged, it provides a systematic introduction to the subject, accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Topics range from nanomaterial preparation, properties and biofunctionalisation, and analytical methods used in bionanotechnology, to bioinspired and DNA nanotechnology, and applications in biosensing, medicine and tissue engineering. Throughout the…
Combines the basics of bionanotechnology in an easy to understand way, emphasising the interdisciplinary nature of the field and providing entry to it for students from a range of backgrounds
Covers all major recent developments in nanotechnology, biosensing and nanomedicine
'Research report' boxes enable students to connect the theory covered to real applications
