Report
"...Dieses Buch liefert erstmals eine Übersicht über die wichtigen derzeit in Entwicklung befindlilchen biologischen und pharmazeutischen Nanomaterialien. Der Band versammelt eine Vielzahl von Artikeln aus unterschiedlichen Fachzeitschriften sind und vielen Forschern wahrscheinlich entgangen sein dürften. Dieser interdisziplinäre Sammelcharakter macht den besonderen Reiz des Werkes aus. Die englischsprachigen Texte behandeln alle Materialien, die als essenziell für die weitere Entwicklung der Medizin und Pharmazie angesehen werden. Lohnenswert für Fachleute."www. umweltjournal.de/Buchrezensionen, 06/2007
