Nanoengineering of Biomaterials : Drug Delivery & Biomedical Applications

A comprehensive discussion of various types of nanoengineered biomaterialsand their applications InNanoengineering of Biomaterials: Drug Delivery Biomedical Applications , an expert team of chemists deliversa succinct exploration of the synthesis, characterization, in-vitro and in-vivo drug molecule release, pharmacokinetic activity, pharmacodynamic activity, and the biomedical applications of several types of nanoengineered biomaterials. The editors have also included resources to highlight the most current developments in the field. The book is a collection of valuable and accessible reference sources for researchers in materials chemistry and related disciplines. It uses a functions-directed approach to using organic and inorganic source compounds that translate into biological systems as scaffolds, micelles, dendrimers, and other delivery systems. Nanoengineering of Biomaterials offers readers up-to-date chemistry and materialscience insights that are readily transferrable to biomedical systems. The book

also includes: Thorough introductions to alginate nanoparticle delivery of therapeuticsand chitosan-based nanomaterials in biological applications Comprehensive explorations of nanostructured carrageenan as a drug carrier,gellangum nanoparticles in drug delivery, and guar-gum nanoparticles in the delivery of bioactive molecules Practical discussions of protein-based nanoparticles for drug delivery, solid lipid nanoparticles as drug carriers, and pH-responsive nanoparticles in therapy In-depth examinations of stimuli-responsive nano carriers in drug targeting Perfect forpharmaceutical chemists, materials scientists, polymer chemists, life scientists, andmedicinal chemists,Nanoengineering of Biomaterials: Drug DeliveryandBiomedical Applications is also an indispensable resource forbiologists and bioengineersseeking a one-stop reference on the transferability of materials chemistry and nanotechnology to biomedicine.
