Description

Bioengineered Nanomaterials for Wound Healing and Infection Control is a key reference for those working in the fields of materials science, pharmacy, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering and microbiology. Bioengineered nanomaterials have unique physicochemical properties which promote accelerated wound healing and treatment of infections. The biosynthesis of these nanomaterials also offers a clean, safe and renewable alternative to traditional nanomaterials, helping reduce environmental impact alongside antibacterial resistance.

Key features

  • Provides an overview of the role of biofilms and multidrug resistance in wound infections
  • Covers a range of bioengineered nanomaterial types and nanotechnology-based approaches, including phyconanotechnology, phytonanotechnology and microbial nanotechnology
  • Helps readers discover novel materials for use in wound healing and infection control while reducing the probability of antibiotic resistance
