Biomedicine diagnostics

QD or semiconductor crystals have great potential for use as diagnostic and imaging agents in biomedicine and as semiconductors in the electronics industry. QD of different sizes, shapes, and surface coatings can penetrate intact skin at an occupationally relevant dose.

Singh et al., in Chapter 13, Nanobiomaterials applications in biomedicine and biotechnology, review the fabrication of nanoscale biomaterials for medical and biotechnological applications. Nanoscale molecular tools in nanobiomedicine are used for diagnostic purposes and improvement of human health. Pivotal studies, both nonclinical and clinical, in the aspects of safety and tolerance are the necessity of recent times in order to formulate their potential commercial application.

More recently, electrical engineers have been involved in such areas as nanotechnology, e-textiles, and biomedicine. It is impossible to predict exactly how research in these areas will be applied to products in the future. However, some possibilities are to use nanotechnology in the development of smaller and more portable devices, e-textiles to detect biohazardous chemicals used during warfare, and developments in biomedicine to produce more sophisticated diagnostic imaging machines.

The ultrathin fibrillar structures (fibers, medical threads, meshes, mats and scaffolds) are of utmost interest as the modem functional materials with specific properties such as the high surfaceA olume ratio of a single filament, effective surface modification, special physical-chemical behavior, and anomalous diffusion [1-5]. At the present time ultrathin fibers and articles on their base are efficiently applicable in biomedicine, tissue engineering, in filtration and separation processes, for composite design, in electronics, analytical supplies, sensor-based diagnostics, and in other iimovative applications [6-9].
