Contents:
Nanoparticles. Definition, Classification, General Physical Properties -- Natural Sources of Nanoparticles -- Anthropogenic Sources of Nanoparticles -- Mechanisms of Nanoparticle Formation and Reformation in the Atmosphere -- Nanopathology: the nano-bio-interaction of  nanoparticles inside the human body -- Nanotoxicity: must consider aspect of nanoparticle development -- Pros and cons on magnetic nanoparticles use in medicine and biotechnologies applications -- Nanofluidics-based mass spectrometry. Applications for biomarker discovery in lysosomal storage diseases -- Multidynamic Liposomal Nanomedicine: Technology, Biology, Applications, and Disease Targeting -- Identifications of nanoparticles in organic matrices -- Gold Nanoparticle in Biosensing Analyses -- Electron Magnetic Resonance technique and nanoparticle characterization -- Nanoparticles Characterization using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis -- Dielectrophoresis Used for Nanoparticle Manipulation in Microfluidic Devices -- Multi-dimensional electrophoresis: The march in pharma applications -- Tailored Bio-Polysaccharide Nonomicelles for Targeted Drug Delivery.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The focus of this interdisciplinary volume is on four areas of nanoparticle research: characterization, manipulation, and potential effects on humanity and the environment. The book includes a comprehensive collection of data on industrial nanoparticle creation and the characterization of the nanoscale products of these processes. The authors describe the effects of these nanoscale structures on human health and discuss prospective implementations for detection and characterization of nanoparticles in the environment. They recommend, utilizing the most up-to-date understanding of nanotechnology, methods for limiting the negative effects of these products on the environment and human health through manipulation, sorting, and filtration.
