Biografisk notat
María Tirado Miranda is an experimental physicist whose research activity has mainly focused on the experimental study of the dynamics and three-dimensional structure of mesoscopic systems using optical light scattering techniques. She has been an associate professor in the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Granada since 2010.
The research activity of Marta Vicario de la Torre has produced 14 scientific publications in international journals, 2 in national journals, and 3 book chapters, 7 patent applications and 3 patents granted.
Ana Belén Jódar Reyes is an Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Granada (UGR) since 2010. Her main research line has been Physics of Interfaces and Colloid Systems and she has published 6 book chapters and 38 JCR articles.
This fully revised and updated second edition of the popular 2014 title presents a detailed review of soft nanoparticles and their biomedical applications which range from imaging to therapeutics and diagnostics. Each chapter provides a description of the synthesis of the particles and, in addition, the book covers techniques used to characterize the nanoparticles including modelling and simulation methods, together presenting a strong physicochemical approach to the topic.
This new edition updates many of the original chapters, providing current insight into the field, and three new chapters focusing on exosomes, nanoemulsions and water-in-water emulsions, and nanoparticles for multiple sclerosis.
Given the multidisciplinary nature of the topic, this book – edited by experts in the field – is suitable for postgraduates and academics who work at the soft matter junction of physics, chemistry and biology.
This new edition updates many of the original chapters, providing current insight into the field, and three new chapters focusing on exosomes, nanoemulsions and water-in-water emulsions and nanoparticles for multiple sclerosis.
