Biological Evaluation of Materials [EPUB ebook] 
The interaction of materials with their environment

This reference text presents a comprehensive strategy for the identification, characterisation and grouping of nanomaterials using biological methods. The focus is on methods from molecular biology, and complementary methods derived from quantum physics. The book discusses the interaction of materials with their environment, the field of materiomics, the biological recognition of materials, and the quantum basis of materials recognition by cells. The analysis of quantum mechanisms enables a deeper exploration of the interaction of biological objects with materials, but an advanced understanding of mathematics is not required to follow the discussion. The key audience for the book includes biomaterials researchers involved in the characterisation of materials and those interested in material interactions and life sciences more broadly.
Key Features:

• Presents a comprehensive strategy for the identification, characterisation and grouping of nanomaterials using molecular biology, and complementary methods derived from quantum physics

• Provides coverage of the emerging field of materiomics

• Follows an interdisciplinary approach and does not require advanced understanding of mathematics

• Highly useful to all researchers involved in characterising new materials, particularly biomaterials researchers and those interested in the interaction of materials science and the life sciences
