The study of electrochemical nanotechnology has emerged as researchers apply electrochemistry to nanoscience and nanotechnology. These two related volumes in the Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry Series review recent developments and breakthroughs in the specific application of electrochemistry and nanotechnology to biology and medicine. Internationally renowned experts contribute chapters that address both fundamental and practical aspects of several key emerging technologies in biomedicine, such as the processing of new biomaterials, biofunctionalization of surfaces, characterization of biomaterials, discovery of novel phenomena and biological processes occurring at the molecular level.

Topics in Number 53 include:

·Fundamental studies of electron tunneling between electrodes and proteins

·Electron transfer kinetics at oxide films on metallic biomaterials

·How adsorption of organic molecules and ions depends on surface crystallography of the metal electrode

·Studying and modifying biomaterial surfaces with high resolution using the scanning electrochemical microscope

·Electrochemical method for high-throughput screening of enzymatic activity

From reviews of previous volumes:

"This long-standing series continues its tradition of offering high quality reviews of established and emerging subject areas, together with the less common aspects of electrochemical science... [and]... deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful to electrochemists and related workers." -Chemistry and Industry

"Extremely well-referenced and very readable.... Maintains the overall high standards of the series." -Journal of the American Chemical Society
