Dendrimer-Based Nanomedicine

Product Description
In recent decades, dendrimers — free-shaped synthetic macromolecules — have garnered a great deal of scientific interest due to their unique molecular nanostructure. Used in a variety of scientific applications, the use of dendrimers is now widely regarded as a safer, more precise, and more effective way to practice medicine.

This book compiles and details cutting-edge research in science and medicine from the interdisciplinary team of the Michigan Nanotechnology Institute for Medicine and Biological Sciences, who are currently revolutionizing drug delivery techniques through the development of engineered nanodevices. Edited by Istvan J Majoros and James Baker, Jr., two prominent nanotechnology researchers, this book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, macromolecular science, cancer therapy, or drug delivery research.

OpticaOptical Properties And Spectroscopy Of Nanomaterials

Product Description
Optical properties are among the most fascinating and useful properties of nanomaterials and have been extensively studied using a variety of optical spectroscopic techniques. A basic understanding of the optical properties and related spectroscopic techniques is essential for anyone who is interested in learning about nanomaterials of semiconductors, insulators or metal. This is partly because optical properties are intimately related to other properties and functionalities (e.g. electronic, magnetic, and thermal) that are of fundamental importance to many technological applications, such as energy conversion, chemical analysis, biomedicine, optoelectronics, communication, and radiation detection. Intentionally designed for upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students with some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this book provides the first systematic coverage of optical properties and spectroscopic techniques of nanomaterials.

• Spectroscopic Techniques for Studying Optical Properties of Nanomaterials

Mechanics of Boron Nitride Nanotubes: A Continuum Theory Based on the Interatomic Potential

Product Description
Boron nitride nanotubes display unique properties and have many potential applications. An atomistic-based continuum theory is developed for boron nitride nanotubes. The continuum constitutive model for boron nitride nanotubes is obtained directly from the interatomic potential for boron and nitrogen. Such an approach involves no additional fitting parameters beyond those introduced in the interatomic potential. The atomistic-based continuum theory is then applied to study the elastic modulus, stress-strain curve and nonlinear bifurcation in boron nitride nanotubes. An analytic approach is then established to determine the tensile and bending rigidity of a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayer and single- and multi-wall boron nitride nanotubes directly from the interatomic potential. Such an approach enables one to bypass atomistic simulations and to give the tensile and bending rigidity in terms of the parameters in the potential. The thickness of h-BN monolayer is also discussed.A hybrid atomistic/continuum model based on the interatomic potential for boron nitride is also developed to study the Stone-Wales transformation in boron nitride nanotubes under tension.

Worldwide Technical, Environmental Issues Exist For Nanomaterials

World Nanomaterials to 2013
 
 Global nanomaterial demand to rise 20% annually through 2013
 While market demand has not matched the considerable hype that nanotechnology has generated over the past decade and a half, nanomaterials have managed to attain an appreciable commercial presence. Global nanomaterials demand will to continue to rise, posting robust twenty percent annual gains to $3.6 billion in 2013. By 2025, nanomaterials are expected to reach over $34 billion in sales, having still only scratched the surface of their immense market potential.( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=133632&rt=World-Nanomaterials.html )
 
 Carbon nanotubes to gain market share through 2025
 Many of the initial uses for nanomaterials, which have had the greatest commercial impact, have involved relatively lowtech materials and applications. These include nanoscale versions of conventional materials, including silica, alumina, titanium dioxide, clays, and metals such gold and silver. These nanomaterials have found widespread applications as wafer polishing slurries for semiconductor processing, personal care products such as sunscreen, and antibacterial treatments for consumer products. In the next decade or two, however, some of the relatively novel nanomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes, will account for a larger share of overall nanomaterial demand. Producers such as Arkema, Bayer, Nanocyl and Showa Denko have raised or announced capacity increases for nanotubes in recent years, as these products find more use in electronics and motor vehicle components.
 
 Health care to surpass electronics as largest world market for nanomaterials
 Health care was the second largest market for nanomaterials in 2008, but is expected to overtake electronics as the leading outlet in 2013 and beyond. Nanomaterialbased pharmaceuticals, which include nanoscale drug delivery systems as well as nanosized drug active ingredients, have enjoyed a significant degree of commercial success to date. In the future, it is expected that nanomaterials will expand from pharmaceuticals into other medical product and health care applications, including diagnostics, imaging and dental care. Additionally, the range of nanomaterials used will broaden, encompassing nanotubes, nanoscale metals and new materials such as dendrimers and quantum dots.
 
 US to remain largest market
 In 2008, the nanomaterial market was overwhelmingly concentrated in the developed world. The US and Japan combined to account for over half of world demand, while Western Europe and two high-income Asian nations, Taiwan and South Korea, represented an additional 34 percent. While virtually all nanomaterial markets will experience robust double-digit gains in demand, the fastest gains are forecast in the rapidly industrializing countries of China and India. By 2025, it is expected that China will overtake Japan as the second-largest market for nanomaterials in the world behind the United States.
 
 Technical, environmental issues exist for nanomaterials
 While the outlook for nanomaterials is generally bright, a number of potential complications exist. In some instances, technical issues such as agglomeration of nanotubes in plastic composites are still a challenge. Perhaps more fundamentally, concerns about the safety and environmental effect of nanomaterials may be impediments to commercial success.
