Biomedical applications have benefited greatly from the growing interest and research into semiconducting silicon nanowires. "Semiconducting Silicon Nanowires for Biomedical Applications" examines the fabrication, properties, and applications of this emerging material. The book begins with an overview of semiconducting silicon nanowires, including their growth, characterization, biocompatibility, and surface modifications. It then focuses on silicon nanowires for tissue engineering and delivery applications such as cellular binding and internalization, orthopedic tissue scaffolds, stem cell mediated differentiation, and drug delivery via silicon nanoneedles. Finally, it focuses on the use of silicon nanowires for detection and sensing. These chapters look at the development and application of semiconducting silicon nanowire arrays for high-throughput bioscience screening, neural cell pinning on surfaces, and probe-free biosensing platforms. Semiconducting Silicon Nanowires for Biomedical Applications is a comprehensive resource for biomaterials scientists working on biosensors, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, as well as researchers and developers in industry and academia interested in nanoscale biomaterials, particularly electronically-responsive biomaterials.
