tailieunhanh - BIOMATERIALS APPLICATIONS FOR NANOMEDICINE

Scientists who dedicate their research activity to biomaterials pass through the typical dichotomy that often characterizes the basic research. On one side is the wish of exploring new frontiers of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, pharmaceutics and all other disciplines to which biomaterials can be applied. Constantly improving of scientific knowledge would feed the freedom of attempting new strategies for producing materials with always tailored and improved characteristics. | BIOMATERIALS APPLICATIONS FOR NANOMEDICINE Edited by Rosario Pignatello Biomaterials Applications for Nanomedicine Edited by Rosario Pignatello Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
