Nanotechnology in Biomedical Engineering

Overview

Nanotechnology in biomedical engineering applies nanoscale materials and phenomena to medical diagnostics, therapeutics, and biological systems. Research published in Advances in Nanotechnology examines the fundamental fluid dynamics and heat transfer properties of nanofluids—liquids containing dispersed nanoparticles—which are relevant to biomedical applications requiring precise thermal management and controlled flow behavior. One published study investigated the Marangoni effect in water-based nanofluids under forced convection conditions, analyzing how surface tension gradients influence flow patterns in non-Newtonian fluids at the nanoscale. Understanding these convective behaviors is important because nanofluids show promise in targeted drug delivery systems, hyperthermia cancer treatments, and medical cooling devices where controlled heat transfer and fluid movement are critical. The mathematical modeling of nanofluid behavior under various flow regimes provides foundational knowledge for engineering biomedical devices that exploit nanoscale thermal and hydrodynamic properties. This research contributes to the broader effort to characterize how nanoparticles alter fluid properties in ways that can be harnessed for medical technologies, bridging fundamental physics with practical biomedical engineering challenges.
