{"product_id":"engineered-carbohydrate-based-materials-for-biomedical-applications-isbn-9780470472354","title":"Engineered Carbohydrate-Based Materials for Biomedical Applications","description":"This book addresses the need for a comprehensive book on the design, synthesis, and characterization of synthetic carbohydrate-based polymeric materials along with their biological applications. The first two chapters cover the synthesis and self-assembly of glycopolymers and different techniques for creating these synthetic polymers. Subsequent chapters account for the preparation of block copolymers, branched glycopolymers, glycosurfaces, glycodendrimers, cationic glycopolymers, bioconjugates, glyconanoparticles and hydrogels. While these chapters comprehensively review the synthetic and characterization methods of those carbohydrate-based materials, their biological applications are discussed in detail.

His research is focused on the development of new polymeric and nanomaterials for biomedical applications, and he has published more than forty-five peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Narain is also a reviewer for more than sixteen journals, including Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry (Wiley), Journal of the American Chemical Society, Biomacromolecules, Macromolecules, Chemistry of Materials, Langmuir, Bioconjugate Chemistry, ACS Nano, Nanoletters, Nano Today, Chemical Communications, and Soft Matter.  The definitive guide to the synthesis and applications of biomaterials  \u003cp\u003eWhile carbohydrate-based materials are commonly used in numerous biomedical and biological applications, there is a paucity of systematic information on how best to approach the design, synthesis, and characterization of such materials. This book provides a much-needed overview of the subject, focusing on synthesis and characterization techniques for several key biomaterials, including polymers, surfaces, dendrimers, nanoparticles, and hydrogels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing contributed chapters written by experts in the field, this volume offers practical guidance on how to choose the appropriate synthetic approach for each material under discussion, clearly explaining their interactions with living organisms, their role in various biological processes, and their biomedical or biological applications.
