Nanomedicine: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition provides an important review of this exciting technology and its growing range of applications. In this new edition, all chapters are thoroughly updated and revised, with new content on antibacterial technologies and green nanomedicine. Sections introduce the material, cover their properties, review nanomedicine for therapeutics, imaging and soft tissue engineering, including organ regeneration, skin grafts, nanotubes and self-assembled nanomaterials. Other sections cover bone and cartilage tissue engineering, nanostructured particles for antibacterial purposes, advances in green nanomedicine, and using natural nanomedicine to fight disease.

This book is an indispensable guide for all those involved in the research, development and application of this exciting technology, whilst also providing a comprehensive introduction for students and academics interested in this field.

Professor Thomas J. Webster, a chemical and biomedical engineer, holds degrees from the University of Pittsburgh and RPI. He has founded over a dozen companies with FDA-approved medical products benefiting over 30,000 patients and is involved in sustainability and renewable energy technologies. Currently a professor at multiple universities, he has received numerous accolades, including recognition as a top scientist by PLOS and Clarivate. With over 1,350 publications and 66,000 citations, he is a former president of the U.S. Society for Biomaterials and was recently nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He also established a fund for Nigerian student research in the USA.
