Polymeric Nanosystems

Polymeric Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume 1 is an interdisciplinary work examining the applications of nanotherapeutic systems as well as nanodiagnostics in relation to polymeric nanosytems. In the last decade, numerous biopolymers have been utilized to prepare polymeric nanosystems for therapeutic applications. These biopolymers include polylactic acid, polylactide-co-glycolide, polycaprolactone, acrylic polymers, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, alginates, chitosan, gellan gum, gelatin, albumin, chontroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, guar gum, gum Arabic, gum tragacanth, xanthan gum, and starches. Besides these biopolymers, grafted polymers are also being used as advanced polymeric materials to prepare many theranostic nanocarriers, and nanoformulations. This book explores the array of polymeric nanosystems to understand therapeutic potentials. Polymeric Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume 1 will be useful to pharmaceutical scientists including industrial pharmacists & analytical scientists, health care professionals and regulatory scientists actively involved in pharmaceutical product and process development of tailored-made polysaccharides in drug delivery applications. Contains in-depth discussions of the polymeric nanosystems including high-quality graphics, flow charts, and graphs for enhanced understanding Reviews the literature on polymeric nanosystems while also suggesting new avenues Includes contributions in all areas of polymeric nanosystems, providing a thorough and interdisciplinary work
