Nanophototherapy: Preparations and Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Nanophototherapy: Preparations and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the various multifunctional nanoparticles used for phototherapy, with an emphasis on fundamental nanotechnology and the latest research of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The different types of phototherapeutic nanomaterials are thoroughly described, along with their structural features and synthesis. This is the first book to cover nanomaterial-based phototherapy for both cancer and bacterial infections. It is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and professionals interested in the potential of multifunctional nanomaterials for therapeutic applications.

• Overviews the types, structural features, design, and fabrication of advanced nanomaterial-based phototherapy of cancer and microbial infections
• Provides fundamentals and reviews the latest research on nanomaterial-based phototherapy for the treatment of cancer and bacterial infections
• Features definitions, synthesis, and characterization of various nanomaterials, such as NIR-based metals, photosensitizer-loaded nanomaterials, polymer nanoparticles, and more
