Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery

Nanocarriers such as liposomes, polymeric, nanoparticles (metallic and non-metallic) and carbon nanotubes, hybrid nanosystem etc., are able to improve drug distribution and bioavailability while reducing side effects.

Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery presents the major recent findings in research into pharmaceutical applications of the various types of nanosystem-based drug delivery systems. Many of these have reached the market over the past decade, proving their benefits the patient as new carriers. This book explores these new carriers and the advances in drug delivery they have facilitated.

Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter, this book includes contributions by experts from different fields, with various backgrounds and expertise. This book will appeal to researchers as well as students from different disciplines such as materials science and technology and various biomedical fields. Coverage includes industrial applications, and bridge the gap between lab-based research and practical industrial applications.

The resulting work is a reference, and practical source of guidance for researchers, students and scientists working in the fields of nanotechnology, materials science and technology and biomedical science.

The interdisciplinary approach and authorship enables readers from different fields to access recent research and protocols across traditional boundariesThe focus on protocols and techniques, as well as the knowledge base of the field, will enable those in industry (R&D) to learn about and successfully deploy cutting-edge techniquesNanocarrier systems are explored, demystified, and made accessible to an inter-disciplinary readership from academic and industrial spheres
