Nanobiotechnology of Biomimetic Membranes describes the current state of research and development in biomimetic membranes for nanobiotechnology applications. The application areas in nanobiotechnology range from novel nanosensors, to novel methods for sorting and delivering bio-active moleculres, to novel drug-delivery systems. The success of these applications relies on a good understanding of the interaction and incorporation of macromoleculres in membranes and the funamental properties of the membrane itself.

This book provides an up-to-date description of the biomimetic membrane technology that is essential for medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Fundamental and background information on the latest biomimetic membrane technology will be enhanced by descriptions of the medical diagnostic and therapeutic systems that include biomimetic membrane technology at the core of the systems. This is an ideal book for biomedical scientists, clinicians and scientists who design devices for medical technology, and graduate students and academics in bioengineering, nanotechnology, biotechnology and related fields.

This book also:
