Summary:

Nanomaterial technologies can be used to fabricate high-performance biomaterials with tailored physical, chemical, and biological properties. They are therefore an area of interest for emerging biomedical technologies such as scaffolding, tissue regeneration, and controlled drug delivery. Nanomaterials in tissue engineering explores the fabrication of a variety of nanomaterials and the use of these materials across a range of tissue engineering applications.Part one focuses on the fabrication of nanomaterials for tissue engineering applications and includes chapters on engineering nano

Contents:

part I. Fabrication of nanomaterials for tissue engineering applications
