A growing number of metal-organic frameworks with biomedical engineering applications are being reported. Increasing attention is being paid to metal-organic frameworks due to their several advantages over conventional materials. Metal-Organic Frameworks for Biomedical Applications is a comprehensive, authoritative reference for the biomedical application of metal-organic frameworks, offering a substantial and complete treatment of published results that have yet to be critically reviewed. It offers a summary of current research, and provides in-depth understanding of the role of metal-organic frameworks in biomedical engineering. The title consists in twenty-two chapters on the state-of-the-art, from leading international researchers in the field. Chapters are arranged by target-application in biomedical engineering, allowing medical and pharmaceutic specialists to translate current materials and engineering science on metal-organic frameworks into their work Presents the state-of-the art in metal-organic frameworks for biomedical applicationOffers comprehensive treatment of metal-organic frameworks useful to pharmaceutic and medical experts who are non-specialists in materials scienceStructured by target-application in biomedical engineering, allowing medical and pharmaceutic specialists to translate current materials and engineering science on metal-organic frameworksHelps materials scientists and engineers understand the needs of biomedical engineeringCritically-reviews published results and current research in the field INDICE: 1.
