Summary:

Biomedical applications have benefited greatly from the increasing interest and research into semiconducting silicon nanowires. Semiconducting silicon nanowires for biomedical applications reviews the fabrication, properties and applications of this emerging material.After an introductory chapter providing an overview of semiconducting silicon nanowires for biomedical applications, part one goes on to review the growth, characterization, biocompatibility, and surface modification of semiconducting silicon nanowires. Part two focuses on silicon nanowires for tissue engineering and deliv
