Colloids in Biotechnology

Herausgeber: Fanun, Monzer

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Colloids show great potential in a wide variety of applications, including drug delivery and medical imaging. This volume describes developments in the field of biotechnological applications in the past decade and bridges the gap between these research efforts and commercially viable options. The authors discuss new types of biosurfactants; mixtures of surfactants; and peptides, proteins, and polyelectrolytes. They also describe the formation and properties of magnetic colloids and review their applications in chemical biology and medicine. They highlight current progress in the design of self-assembled materials for biotechnology, and they also cover the formation of nanofibres and the use of sol-gel technology in biology.
