Biopolymer-based composites have emerged as pivotal materials in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, offering biomimetic scaffolds that support cellular growth, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. These composites integrate natural polymers with bioactive fillers to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM), providing structural and biochemical cues essential for tissue repair. In this book, different types of biopolymer composites based on keratin nanofiber, cellulose, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, Hyaluronic acid, starch-based composites, alginate, microbial exopolysaccharides, polyhydroxyakanoate, silk fibroin, dextran and pectin are discussed in detail. It is believed that this work will be of general interest to organic chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, polymer scientists and technologists.
Antibiotic Materials in Healthcare provides significant information on antibiotic related issues, accurate solutions, and recent investigative information for health-related applications. In addition, the book addresses the design and development of antibiotics with advanced (physical, chemical and biological) properties, an analysis of materials, in vivo and in vitro applications, and their biomedical applications for healthcare. - Provides information on all aspects of antibiotic related issues - Offers a balanced synthesis of basic and clinical science for each individual case, presenting clinical courses and detailed microbiological information for each infection - Describes the prevalence and incidence of global issues and current therapeutic approaches
Nanotechnology-based nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of advanced medical applications by offering new possibilities for treatment and diagnosis. Nano-form materials have become increasingly important in modern healthcare due to their ability to improve bioactivity and therapeutic efficiency. For example, nanomaterials can target specific cells or tissues in the body, which can result in more effective treatments with fewer side effects. However, it is important to carefully control the toxicity of nanomedicine and study its potential toxic effects to ensure patient safety. Moreover, nanomaterials have shown promise in controlling various types of bacteria, viruses, and even SARS-...
Polymeric Biomaterials for Healthcare Applications details a broad range of polymeric biomaterials, methods of synthesis and preparation, and their various applications in healthcare and biomedicine. The book provides a fundamental overview of polymers and processing technologies to allow clinical scientists to explore the use of these polymers in alternative applications. A wide variety of healthcare applications are covered, including treatment for autoimmune diseases and bacterial infections, tissue engineering, gene delivery, wound dressing, and more. The book provides a core introductory text for clinical and materials scientists new to the area of polymeric biomaterials. This book will...
The book represents a collection of papers presented at VI International Symposium "Biogenic - abiogenic interactions in natural and anthropogenic systems" that was held on 24-27 September 2018 in Saint Petersburg (Russia). Papers in this book cover a wide range of topics connecting with interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components in lithosphere, biosphere and technosphere. The main regarding topics are following: methods for studying the interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components; geochemistry of biogenic-abiogenic systems; biomineralization and nature-like materials and technologies; medical geology; biomineralogy and organic mineralogy; biomineral interactions in soil; biodeterioration of natural and artificial materials; biomineral interactions in extreme environment.
Essentially the work is a compilation of Vimalaji s letters written to the author who had the opportunity to live with her and witness the rhythmic, pure, meditative life dedicated for the well being of the nations. Vimalaji s approach in dealing with the author sadhaka is an education for all f us, in itself, indeed a practical education. An approach dealing with the particular mind-set of the aspirant but without the imposition of authority. The letters, here, are arranged chronologically and have been assigned fitting titles which are quite expressive of the contents, beneficial to every spiritual aspirant. Most of the letters are in Vmalaji s handwriting, giving it a feeling of closeness. They pierce the psyche of the readers, illumining our understanding and incisively and persuasively teach that the spiritual and eternal is to be prized above the material and transitory.
