This book discusses advanced knowledge about the synthesis and application of materials in the medical field for diagnostic and therapeutic conditions. These materials have been extensively used in various biological and medical applications, especially in drug delivery, tumor screening, bioimaging, diagnosis, and therapies. Materials for Medical Applications provides comprehensive but concise information about materials and their medical applications. The readers will get information about the trends in materials and their medical applications, as well as current material-based products that are used in the medical field. The book has 11 chapters, where shapes, sizes, and structural differences of materials and methods of synthesis have been described, and a few chapters are also dedicated to the characterization of materials and their medical applications. The book also discusses how materials are tested in research laboratories, preclinical (animal) trials, and clinical (human) trials, and how material-based products go through various regulatory and safety phases before reaching patients. It also discusses topics such as materials delivery, imaging, and treatments for various diseases. It includes a chapter dedicated to regulatory guidelines and policies in the application of nanomaterials and will include current clinical trial information on the materials. Finally, the book has topics such as health safety, toxicity, dosages, and long-term implications of materials. This book is intended for researchers, material scientists, and students in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, and biopharmaceuticals working on the development of biomaterials.
