Sinossi

Practical approach to solution-based synthesis methods and mechanisms from a chemical engineering perspective

Engineering Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications provides an in-depth, hands-on overview of synthesis and formation mechanisms, characterization, and functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs) using solution-based methods developed from fundamental principles of nucleation and growth. Various experimental synthesis strategies are supported via simulation and modeling. The NPs studied in this book are designed to target an array of biomedical applications.

In this book, readers can practice reverse engineering by first choosing a specific biomedical application, upon which the reader will be exposed to a host of synthesis options. Based on desired properties of NPs, this book can then provide all the relevant information using experimental and modeling approaches for that specific biomedical application.

Sample topics covered in Engineering Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications include:

  • Physico-chemical properties of NPs such as magnetic, plasmonic, and stimuli-sensitivity properties
  • Modeling approaches including Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo simulations, and Population Balance Model
  • Applications of NPs with emphasis on biomedical applications such as biosensing, diagnostics/imaging, and drug delivery
  • Optical, magnetic, stimuli-responsive, and biological properties of multifunctional nanoparticles
  • Spherical and anisotropic iron oxide and gold nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles and multifunctional nanoparticles

Engineering Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications is an essential reference on the subject for chemists and engineers at every level of academia and industry.

Sulalit Bandyopadhyay is currently employed as an Associate Professor within Particle Engineering and Hydrometallurgy at the Department of Chemical Engineering, NTNU. He is also employed as a Researcher at the Department of Water Management, TU Delft, Netherlands and serving as the CTO of a diagnostic company Lybe Scientific A/S. He is currently the Centre Manager for the recently established Particle Engineering Research Centre.
During 2018 - 2021, he worked as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Chemical Engineering, NTNU and Department of Water Management, TU Delft. He also worked as a Polymer Scientist in Jotun Antifouling for a short stint. He graduated with a B.E (Hons) in Chemical Engineering from Jadavpur University, India and was thereafter awarded the Erasmus Mundus Fellowship to do his MSc in Chemical Research Fellow at the Department of Chemical Engineering, NTNU and ETH Zurich. His current contribution to the development of NTNU's innovative Corona test method in 2020 enabled the use of the technology for easing the burden of the pandemic. Recipient of JBNSTS 2006, DAAD 2009, his research interests include synthesis, characterization and functionalization of NPs, development of NP based hydrological tracers, drug delivery and modelling of nanosystems, recycling of Lithium-ion batteries.
