Synthetic Polymers in Drug and Biotherapeutics Delivery covers new polymers that are fast replacing obsolete polymers in the field of drug delivery. Each chapter focuses on a specific polymer, detailing its design, synthesis, fabrication techniques, and applications in drug and biotherapeutics delivery.
Synthetic polymers provide a unique set of opportunities in drug and biotherapeutics delivery due to their chemical versatility and tunable physicochemical properties. Such polymers can be formulated into nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanogels, microparticles, beads, hydrogels, and scaffolds to suit specific needs such as drug release rate, and biodegradation with low toxicity. This book covers new polymers that are fast replacing obsolete polymers in the field of drug delivery. Each chapter will focus on a specific polymer detailing its design, synthesis, fabrication techniques, and applications in drug and biotherapeutics delivery.
This book provides a thorough review of the latest research in this rapidly changing field and would be of interest to materials scientists, pharmaceutical scientists, biomedical engineers, chemical engineers, and clinicians with an interest in materials development.
- Details the immunological aspects of synthetic polymeric materials, helping the reader prepare for, and even avoid, unwanted side effects of use
- Reviews each polymer sub-type, chapter-by-chapter, ensuring thorough coverage and detailed analysis of each
- Explores a range of applications in drug and biotherapeutics delivery, including treatments for cardiovascular, neurological and gastrointestinal diseases
