Beskrivning

Principles and Applications of Antimicrobial Nanomaterials introduces the reader to the microbial world, antimicrobial nanomaterials, how microbial evolution works, and how knowledge of these areas can facilitate the development of sustainable antimicrobials.

Due to the widespread occurrence of multidrug-resistant microbes, there is an increasing interest in the use of novel nanostructured materials as antimicrobials. This book is designed to help researchers from fields such as materials science, nanoscience, and nanoengineering who are attempting to develop these antimicrobial materials.

Provides crucial background in microbiology and microbial evolution to help researchers design experiments that can produce sustainable results
Offers detailed coverage on the antimicrobial properties of different types of nanomaterials
Discusses the major challenges of using nanomaterials for antimicrobial applications
