Chapter 7: Layer-by-Layer Technique: From Capsule Assembly to Application in Biological Domains
Figure 7.1 Schematic overview of LbL assembly. Diverse substrates (e.g., particles, fibers, membranes, surfaces) and layer materials (e.g., DNA, polymer, lipids, proteins, and nanoparticles) could be employed for the fabrication of multilayer (nano)film through LbL assembly.

Chapter 8: Nanopatterning Techniques
Figure 8.1 Schematic representation of different types of nanopatterning techniques.
Figure 8.2 C 1s (A) and F 1s (B) XPS spectra of the SAMs prepared from the assembly solutions with different PFA fraction. (a–e) Pure OEG, 25% PFA, 50% PFA, 75% PFA, and pure PFA.
Figure 8.3 The morphology of MSCs on different −OH/−CH3 mixed SAMs after 12 h of culture was examined by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Cells were fixed and stained for F-actin with AlexaFluor488 phalloidin (green). Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). (a) −OH; (b) −OH/−CH3 (9/1 v/v); (c) −OH/−CH3 (7/3 v/v); (d) −OH/−CH3 (5/5 v/v); (e) −OH/−CH3 (3/7 v/v); (f) −CH3 .
Figure 8.4 Schematic representation of alignment of silane-based SAM on substrate: (a) an originally inert surface is unable to house any further surface modification without prior activation; (b) by depositing a layer of Si/SiOx onto the ceramic surface, this additional activation becomes possible; (c) the SAM itself is applied through the addition of a solution holding the desired molecules in such a way that a surface attachment is only possible in one specific direction; (d) after the reaction, the solution is retracted and an originally inert surface has been chemically activated and is capable of housing further molecules of various kinds [31].

Figure 8.6 Schematic of the major steps involved in NIL.
Figure 8.7 Representing the R2P and R2R system for the lithography process.
Figure 8.8 Schematic illustration of the effects of stiffness of matrix and organization of cell-adhesive ligands on stem cells. (a) Matrix stiffness effect. The strong mechanical feedback from a stiff hydrogel leads to more activation of FA complexes and stronger cell tension. The corresponding inside-outside-in sensing leads to more osteogenesis. (b) RGD nanospacing effect. While focal adhesions are well formed on patterns of a small nanospacing, cells could not form cross-linked actin bundles above the critical adhesion nanospacing (around 70 nm). The large RGD nanospacing favors osteogenesis. The interesting RGD nanospacing effect implies an unknown outside-in signaling pathway.
Chapter 10: Nonconventional Biosensors Based on Nanomembrane Materials
Figure 10.1 Soft electronics . (a) Schematic illustration of the transfer printing process. Membrane materials on a donor substrate are released by etching the intermediate sacrificial layer (certain points of the membranes are anchored on the substrate to prevent drifting during the etching process if necessary). A stamp is laminated on the donor substrate to pick up the membranes via a quick motion. To retrieve the nanomembranes, the stamp is pressed against a receiver substrate. By slowly peeling the stamp away, nanomembranes can be released on the target substrates (adhesive layer is applied on the receiver substrate if necessary).
Figure 10.2 Injectable electronics . (a) Injectable micro-needle integrated with electronics with the blue (450 nm) μ-ILEDs being lighted.
Figure 10.3 Biodegradable electronics . (a) Transfer printing process for biodegradable electronics. Si nanomembrane is first transfer printed onto Si/PMMA/D-PI substrate, followed by patterned deposition of dielectric and metallic materials. A top D-PI layer is deposited as a supporting layer for transfer printing. Both the top and the bottom D-PI layers are patterned into a mesh structure, and the device is released through PMMA undercut in acetone. PDMS stamp is used to pick up the device, followed by the etching of the bottom D-PI layer. The device is then retrieved on the PLGA substrate followed by a final etching of the top D-PI layer.
Chapter 11: Nanobiomaterials for Molecular Imaging

Figure 11.2 Common chemical structures used for coating nanoparticles, functionalizing nanoparticles, and chelating metals used as imaging reporters. Cyclodextran is far more the most common coating materials. It comprises polysaccharide made of glucose molecule. Polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly lactide and polycaprolactone, and polyvinyl alcohol are most common organic materials used for designing nanoparticles with considerably long blood circulation. Silicon oxide is considered an amorphous mesoporous coating with good biological tolerance. Liposomes are molecular assemblies composed of amphiphilic lipid chain such as dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and such assemblies resemble cells in the circulatory system. Carbodiimide, melamide, and biotin are common linker molecules used in molecular imaging, to link targeting ligands to the nanoparticles. Metal chelators such as DOTA, NOTA, and DTPA are low-molecular-weight materials which can chelate reporter molecules like gadolinium, iron, and other metals.

Figure 13.1 Tumor angiogenesis and enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. (A) Different stages and key events during angiogenic switch of tumor: tumors usually start to grow as avascular nodules (dormant stage) until a steady-state level of apoptosing and proliferating cells is reached. The process of angiogenic switch is required to guarantee the exponential tumor growth. It starts with perivascular detachment and vessel dilation, followed by sprouting of angiogenic, formulation and maturation of new vessel, then the perivascular cell recruiting. As long as tumor grows, the blood vessel formation will continue, providing essential nutrients and oxygen for the tumor.

Over the past decade, the integration of advances in materials and life sciences with cutting-edge nanotechnologies has driven biomaterials science into the “nano era.” A new term, nanobiomaterials which describes biomaterials with the constituent or surface feature sized between 1 and 100 nm, but usually 1–100 nm in at least one dimension, has emerged and caused great attention, either in research or industry. Because of their unique nano effects and characteristics, nanobiomaterials possess extraordinarily unique structures and properties. Therefore, nanobiomaterials have blossomed into one of the most important branches in biomaterials, which show great promise in biomedical applications, such as regenerative medicine, cancer therapy, molecular imaging and theranostics, diagnostics, and drug delivery. In the next decade, the applications of nanobiomaterials in the biomedical area will definitely get major breakthroughs and even create more fantastic modern medical techniques.
This book, Nanobiomaterials: Classification, Fabrication, and Biomedical Applications, aims to address state-of-the-art research progresses in the field of nanobiomaterials. The main topics include nanotechnologies for nanobiomaterials fabrication, developments in biomedical applications, and the challenges of biosafety in clinical applications. The book defines the scope and classification of the field of nanobiomaterials and compiles a broad spectrum from fundamental principles to current technological advances, from materials synthesis to biomedical applications along with future prospects.
The book consists of a collection of invited chapters contributed by leading researchers around the world. Chapter 1 firstly defines the scope of nanobiomaterials and reviews the current status and future perspectives. Then, multiple classes of nanobiomaterials are presented. Next, five typical nanotechnology-based approaches exemplify the methods and ideas in biomaterials fabrications. More than that, the book provides a detailed overview of the biomedical applications of nanobiomaterials ranging from tissue regeneration to molecular diagnosis, imaging, and therapy. Finally, it also highlights the biosafety issues associated with nanobiomaterials, including the biocompatibility and regulation for clinical translation.
Currently, the field of nanobiomaterials is in a rapidly developing period with fast-moving changes every day. The development of novel nanobiomaterials depends on the advanced nanotechnologies and biotechnologies, and vice versa. The strategies for designing and synthesizing nanobiomaterials introduced in this book are not only suitable for biomedical applications but also for other applications such as microelectron, new energy, and environment science. Therefore, the main target audiences are researchers and other professionals working in the fields of, but not limited to, materials science and engineering, biomaterials, life sciences, biomedical devices, medicine, and nano-science. And, the book might be useful for graduate students who could also be our audience.
