Among the most commonly used nanomaterials are the oxides of silicon, titanium, and iron. They are used in a variety of fields, including biotechnology, medicine, catalysis, electronics, and environment protection. Biocompatible Hybrid Oxide Nanoparticles for Human Health explores the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of functionalized oxide nanoparticles. The scientific basis for these materials is very large; therefore, simple approaches for their synthesis and characterization are developed and studied. Thus, it is very important to show the applications of such materials depending on their composition and structure. The specific choice of silicon, titanium, and iron oxides is due to the following features: silica is chemically resistant to most organic solvents, harmless to living organisms, can thicken flowable formulations, and increase the strength of materials. Titania has unique chemical, optical, electrophysical, and bactericidal properties. Iron-containing materials possess magnetic properties and can be controlled by a magnetic field. This book explores the characteristics of a range of nanostructured oxides and their newest applications. Shows how oxide nanoparticles are being used to solve current problems in the fields of environmental protection, medicine, and the creation of "smart" materials Case studies explore the major characteristics and applications of silica, titania and iron oxide nanomaterials Discusses the use of biocompatible oxide nanostructures in the development of new sensing technology
