Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis, and Therapy

Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis, and Therapy A comprehensive reference on biochemistry, bioimaging, bioanalysis, and therapeutic applications of carbon nanomaterials Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis, and Therapy begins with a general introduction to carbon nanomaterials for biomedical applications, including a discussion about the pros and cons of various carbon nanomaterials for the respective therapeutic applications. It then goes on to cover fluorescence imaging; deep tissue imaging; photoacoustic imaging; pre-clinical/clinical bioimaging applications; carbon nanomaterial sensors for cancer and disease diagnosis; targeted cancer therapy; and photothermal/photodynamic therapy. Provides an introduction to the biomedical applications of carbon nanomaterials for early-career scientists, as well as background and context for mid-career scientists and researchers Contains three sections covering the basics of carbon nanomaterials, bioimaging and bioanalysis, and therapeutic applications Covers a hot area of research which has very unique physical properties, versatile functionalization chemistry, and biological compatibility This book is an excellent resource for academic researchers and industrial scientists working on preparation and bio-application of carbon nanomaterials, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology. NANOCARBON CHEMISTRY AND INTERFACES SERIES EDITOR Nianjun Yang Institute of Materials Engineering, University of Siegen, Germany This series reflects recent developments and findings in the field of nanocarbon chemistry and interfaces; one of the most important aspects of nanocarbon research. Topics covered include the formation, structure and properties of diamond, diamond nanoparticles, graphene, graphene-oxide, graphene (quantum) dots, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, fullerenes, carbon dots, carbon composites, and their hybrids. Key applications in electroanalysis, biosensing, catalysis, electrosynthesis, energy storage and conversion, environment sensing and protection, biology, and medicine are highlighted.
