Smart Nanomaterials for Infectious Diseases

The use of nanotechnology in medicine to identify and treat a range of infectious illnesses has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Many nanosized materials have been thoroughly investigated for this purpose, utilizing their intrinsically distinctive properties, even if the exact mechanism of action is sometimes contested. The addition of different coatings, such as those that improve chemical stability and stealth qualities or contain targeting agents that reduce off-target effects while creating efficient “smart” nanoplatforms for the early detection, treatment, and potentially resolution of diseases, has also improved their functionality.

With an emphasis on exploring new methods to enhance their characteristics and develop new effective diagnostic, therapeutic, or theranostic approaches with a clear understanding of how they work, this book attempts to gather research and review articles that focus on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles.
