Introduction - Nanomaterials for Medical Applications - page 19

envisions that the students, scientists, engineers, and the professionals will gain
much needed awareness in NMs and their various applications in nanomedi-
cine. At the same time, this topic also provides sufficient information to apply
the concepts discussed and the processes presented to improve on existing pro-
cesses or to begin new R&Ds to develop new applications of NMs in medicine
and/or to develop novel biocompatible NMs for medical applications. It is the
author's vision to inspire more interest in the medical applications of NMs.
