The interactions of nanomaterials and nanosystems within bio systems are a concern for all the scientific community. Several groups are working on addressing the issues related to nanosafety and nanotoxicity, but these assessments cannot accurately be made without addressing and defining the unique parameters of nanomaterials. Advances in Characterization Techniques for Nanotoxicology is a collection of chapters addressing the physical assessment of nanomaterials and the link between the nanomaterials properties and observed biological effects. The book conists of chapters from distinguished scientists working in this field from many different countries. INDICE: Nanomaterials: Unique Physical Parameters and Link to Bioeffects Overview Nanoparticles and Characterization 1 Different categories of nanomaterials and their applicatoins 2 Synthesis and properties of nanomaterials 3 Nanomaterial preparation and the need for standardization 4 Characterization Techniques for nanomaterials: prior to exposure 5 Characterization Techniques for nanomaterials: during exposure 6 Characterization Techniques for nanomaterials: post exposure Toxicity/Bioeffects of Nanomaterials– Relevance to characterization 7 Size mediated Toxicity/Bioeffects of Nanomaterials 8 Shaped mediated Toxicity/Bioeffects of Nanomaterials 9 Charge mediated toxicity/Bioeffects of Nanomaterials 10 Functional group mediated Bioeffects of Nanomaterials Toxicity of Nanomaterials In vitro / In vivo 11 Potential Routes for Nanomaterial Exposure 12 Nanomaterials toxicity–Lung models 13 Nanomaterials toxicity–Skin models 14 Nanomaterials toxicity–Neuronal models 15 Nanomaterial toxicity–Importance of the Immune Reseponse
