Low-Dimensional Materials, Systems, and Applications, Volume 2: Principles, Methods, and Approaches in Biomedicine and Bioengineering showcases the complexities and uniqueness of low-dimensional materials and highlights the most recent discoveries in the fields of biomedicine and bioengineering. Low-dimensional nanoscale materials are challenging as they exhibit properties distinctly different from their bulk counterparts. There is an exponential increase of reactivity at the molecular level due to high surface-to-volume ratios in these materials, and not only are their electronic, optical, and chemical properties different, so too are their mechanical characteristics. This book highlights the state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental descriptions of the complexities, unique properties, and latest applications of low-dimensional materials with a particular focus on the fields of biomedicine and bioengineering.
The book is primarily for researchers working on the simulation, fabrication, analysis, and uses of low-dimensional nanoscale materials, including biotechnologists, materials scientists, and chemists.
