Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Nano and Biomaterials

International Journal of Nano and Biomaterials (IJNBM)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Polymeric bio-nanocomposite in biomedical field: a review on current status and challenges   Order a copy of this article
    by Shiv Kumar, Hari Om Sharma, Sachin Kumar, DINESH PATEL 
    Abstract: The development of polymer nanocomposite has emerged as a promising class of materials in biomedical applications. The various formulations and chemistries of compositions, improvement techniques in surface modification, and advancement in technologies and polymerization techniques have led to applications in dentistry, bone reconstruction, tissue engineering etc. The polymeric nanocomposite material has shown superior hardness, toughness, stiffness, strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical resistance to corrosion etc. This article presents state of art applications and efforts made to develop advanced materials in the biomedical field. Additionally, an approach was discussed to improve the performance of material using modification in filler technology. The last section highlighted several characteristics, prospective uses and challenges of polymeric nanocomposite materials in the biomedical industry.
    Keywords: Nanocomposite; polymeric materials; mechanical properties; biomedical applications.
