Nanomaterials and Nanosystems for Biomedical Applications

Product Description

“Nanomaterials and Nanosystems for Biomedical Applications” brings together under a single cover various aspects of functional bioengineered materials and nanostructured biomaterials including commonly used implants and sustained release nanodevices. The book includes expert reviews on the advances and current problems associated with the implants and nanodevices along with their applications in medicine, pharmaceutics, cancer therapy, gene transfer and drug delivery. The editor, M. R. Mozafari (PhD), has been working in the field of nanobiotechnology for the past 14 years and has produced more than 60 publications. The book also describes the key research parameters pertaining to major technologies employed in the field. To put it in perspective, all important aspects dealing with the chemistry, physics, biology and engineering of nanostructured biomaterials and their applications in nanobiotechnology are covered.

Description:
In the early 21st century, Korean government issued a policy recommendation that Korean public research institutes should select strategic research fields to concentrate their resources, based on a careful review of the various strategic R&D factors. The government has emphasized the ”selection and concentration” strategy for the efficient use of R&D resources and as a way to increase the national competitiveness of Korea. This paper suggests a method, a ”Technology Cluster Analysis,” for selecting the strategic research areas, mainly targeting large, multi-disciplinary and long-term programs. The technology cluster analysis groups near technologies together based on key indicators. In this study, the method is applied to national R&D programs in the nano-technology field. Fifty-six nano-technologies are analyzed and grouped into three main clusters based on the survey data from 180 experts. Technological distances and correlations among individual technologies are depicted by hierarchical dendrogram. Three main clusters in nano-technology field are found and termed nano-materials, nano-devices, and nano-bio. These three clusters are expected to be the core technology clusters in nano-technology field in South Korea.
