Spectroscopic Techniques for Characterization of Nanomaterials
(2017-03-23)
This chapter discusses the characterization of nanomaterials, that is, nanoparticles and nanometer(s)-thick thin films. The focus is on the application of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) absorption ...
Nanobiomaterials in dentistry
(2016-06-13)
During the last decade, nanotechnology has emerged as a separate field of research, mainly because of its application in different areas, such as engineering, medicine, dentistry, and in the development of different ...
X-Ray Diffraction and Scattering by Nanomaterials
(2017-03-23)
This chapter contains basic concepts and applications of wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to studies of nanostructured materials. The first part includes an introduction to the ...
Use of nanoparticles to manage candida biofilms
(2020-01-01)
Candida species constitute an important part of the human oral microbiome and may be found as commensal colonizers in the oral cavity, as well as in the digestive and vaginal tracts. However, disturbances in host homeostasis ...
Nanodrug Delivery Systems for Dermal and Transdermal Photosensitizer Drugs
(2017-03-29)
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and functions as a protective barrier. Molecules can penetrate the skin by three main routes: (1) intracellular (across the corneocytes), (2) intercellular lipids, and (3) ...
Bionanocomposites for Natural Food Packing
(2013-03-12)
Food packaging is essential for preserving food during the period between production and ultimate consumption. Considering the current problems associated with food production, such as global warming, rising demand for ...
