This book aims to address cutting-edge progress in the area of synthesisand biomedical applications of magnetic nanomaterials. It compiles a broadspectrum from fundamental principles to technological advances, from synthesisand modification to biomedical applications along with biocompatibility. Themain topics include principles in nanomagnetism, technologies for magneticnanomaterials fabrication, developments in their biomedical applications, andthe challenges in the toxicity in clinical translation. The first partintroduced the principles of nanomagnetism and specific properties in magnetic nanomaterials.Then, some typical fabrication strategies in magnetic nanomaterials forcontrolled composition, morphologies and sizes are reviewed; and surfacemodification methods with better hydrophilcity and biocompatibility arepresented. Next, magnetic nanomaterials-based applications in biomedical fieldare highlighted in detail, mainly including magnetic resonance image, magnetic hyperthermia,cancer therapy, multi-mode imaging, imaging-guided therapy and manipulatebiological objects. Finally, biocompatibility issues caused by magneticnanomaterials are also overviewed.

Very small particles are able to show astonishing properties. For example, gold atoms can be combined like strings of pearls, while nanoparticles can form one-, two- and three-dimensional layers. These assemblies can be used, for instance, as semiconductors, but other electronic as well as optical properties are possible. An introduction to the booming field of'nanoworld'or'nanoscience', from fundamental principles to their use in novel applications. With its clear structure and comprehensive coverage, backed by numerous examples from recent literature, this is a prime reference for chemists and materials scientists working with and developing nanoparticle systems. A bestselling title in its second edition. A must-have reference for chemists and materials scientists.
