Smart Polymeric Nano-Constructs in Drug Delivery: Concept, Design and Therapeutic Applications

Smart Polymeric Nano-Constructs in Drug Delivery: Concept, Design and  Therapeutic Applications provides a thorough discussion of the most  state of the art material and polymer exploitations for the delivery of  bioactive(s) as well as their current and clinical status. The book  enables researchers to prepare a variety of smart drug delivery systems  to investigate their properties as well as to discover their uses and  applications. The novelty of this approach addresses an existing need of  exhaustively understanding the potential of the materials including  polymeric drug delivery systems that are smartly designed to deliver  bioactive(s) into the body at targeted sites without showing side  effects. The book is helpful for those in the health sector,  specifically those developing nanomedicine using smart material-based  nano-delivery systems. Polymers have unique co-operative properties that  are not found with low-molecular-weight compounds along with their  appealing physical and chemical properties, constituting the root of  their success in drug delivery. Smart Polymeric Nano-Constructs in Drug  Delivery: Concept, Design and Therapeutic Applications discusses smart  and stimuli responsive polymers applicable in drug delivery, followed  detailed information about various concepts and designing of polymeric  novel drug delivery systems for treatment of various type of diseases,  also discussing patents related to the field. The book helps readers to  design and develop novel drug delivery systems based on smart materials  for the effective delivery of bioactive that take advantage of recent  advances in smart polymer-based strategies. It is useful to those in  pharmaceutical sciences and related fields in developing new drug  delivery systems.
