The study of electrochemical nanotechnology has emerged as researchers apply electrochemistry to nanoscience and nanotechnology. These two related volumes in the Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry Series review recent developments and breakthroughs in the specific application of electrochemistry and nanotechnology to biology and medicine. Internationally renowned experts contribute chapters that address both fundamental and practical aspects of several key emerging technologies in biomedicine, such as the processing of new biomaterials, biofunctionalization of surfaces, characterization of biomaterials, discovery of novel phenomena and biological processes occurring at the molecular level.

First book of edited reviews of electrochemical applications in biology and medicine Recent breakthroughs presented by pioneers in electrochemistry First in a two part series on electrochemical applications in biology and medicine

Klappentext

Topics in Number 52 include:

· Monitoring of cellular dynamics with electrochemical detection techniques

· Fundamental studies of long- and short-range electron exchange mechanisms between electrodes and proteins

· Microbial fuel cell scalability and applications in robotics

· Electrochemical coating of medical implants

· Electrochemical techniques for obtaining biofunctional materials

· Preparation and properties of bioactive metals prepared by surface modification

From reviews of previous volumes:

This long-standing series continues its tradition of offering high quality reviews of established and emerging subject areas, together with the less common aspects of electrochemical science... [and]... deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful toelectrochemists and related workers.

Chemistry and Industry

Extremely well-referenced and very readable.... Maintains the overall high standards of the series.
