Semiconducting Silicon Nanowires for Biomedical Applications

The unique fundamental physico-chemical properties of semiconductor silicon nanowires provide a diverse toolbox from which scientists are tackling significant problems in human health at the nanoscale. Biological systems at both the in vitro and in vivo levels are being investigated, as is the fabrication, surface chemistry, and electronic properties of such materials. This book seeks to address the most critical range of issues emerging in this important field and its applications. Part one provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the field and fundamental technologies. Chapters in part two look at tissue engineering and selected drug delivery therapies. The final set of chapters address biomolecular detection and sensing applications of silicon nanowires.
