Nanoclays in Medical Therapy: Advances in Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, properties, and preparation methods of nanoclays, as well as the latest advancements in their application in medical therapy. The book is organized into five sections, each thoroughly reviewing the application of nanoclays in emerging fields such as drug delivery and regenerative medicine, antimicrobial and combination therapies, medical imaging and diagnostics, and clinical transformation and manufacturing. Within these sections, the book provides an in-depth analysis of biocompatibility and safety assessment, optimization of drug delivery systems, combination therapies, regenerative medicine, antibacterial properties, clinical translation, and more.
This is an essential resource for researchers, scientists, and professionals in the field who want to learn more about biocompatibility, safety, regulatory approval, and commercialization of nanoclays.
