| Summary |
Porous silicon is rapidly attracting increasing interest in the biomaterials community. This nanostructured and biodegradable material has a range of properties, making it ideal for drug delivery, cancer therapy, and tissue engineering. Porous silicon for biomedical applications provides a comprehensive review of this emerging biomaterial. Chapters in part one focus on the fundamentals and properties of porous silicon for biomedical applications including thermal properties and stabilization, photochemical and nonthermal chemical modification, protein-modified porous silicon films, and biocompatibility of porous silicon. Part two discusses applications in bioimaging and sensing and explores the optical properties of porous silicon materials, in vivo imaging assessment and radiolabelling of porous silicon, and nanoporous silicon biosensors for DNA sensing and for bacteria detection. Finally, part three highlights drug loading and characterization of porous silicon materials, tumour targeting and imaging, and porous silicon scaffolds for functional tissue engineering and stem cells growth and osteodifferentiation. With its acclaimed editor and international team of expert contributors, Porous silicon for biomedical applications is a technical resource and indispensable guide for all those involved in the research, development and application of porous silicon and also other biomaterials, whilst providing a comprehensive introduction for students and academics interested in the field. |
