Nanomaterials for Magnetic and Optical Hyperthermia Applicationsfocuses on the design, fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials (magnetic, gold and hybrid magnetic-gold nanoparticles) forin vitroandin vivohyperthermia applications, both as standalone and adjuvant therapy in combination with chemotherapy. The book explores the potential for more effective cancer therapy solutions through the synergistic use of nanostructured materials as magnetic and optical hyperthermia agents and targeted drug delivery vehicles, while also discussing the challenges related to their toxicity, regulatory and translational aspects. In particular, the book focuses on the design, synthesis, biofunctionalization and characterization of nanomaterials employed for magnetic and optical hyperthermia. This book will be an important reference resource for scientists working in the areas of biomaterials and biomedicine seeking to learn about the potential of nanomaterials to provide hyperthermia solutions. Explores the design of efficient nanomaterials for hyperthermia applications, allowing readers to make informed materials selection decisionsDiscusses the biofunctionalization of a range of nanomaterials and their interaction with living systemsProvides an overview of the current clinical applications of nanomaterials in hyperthermia treatment | Nanomaterials For Magnetic And Optical Hyperthermia Applications by Raluca Maria Fratila, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
