Polymeric Micelles for Drug Delivery [EPUB ebook] 

Polymeric Micelles for Drug Delivery provides a comprehensive overview on the synthesis, characterization and application of polymeric micelles in drug delivery applications. The use of nanomedicines and carriers, such as polymeric micelles, has made it possible to deliver drugs, genes and therapeutic agents to localized disease sites to maximize clinical benefit while limiting unwanted side effects. This book thoroughly reviews the development and application of polymeric micelles for drug delivery, covering various polymer types and the synthesis, characterization and pharmacokinetics of different micelles. Subsequent chapters go on to look at the range of drug delivery applications of polymeric micelles such as mucosal and transdermal and the assorted stimuli-responsive micelles available. The book concludes with an important analysis of the environmental and regulatory aspects associated with micelle development and clinical translation. – Explores how polymeric micelles can be utilized in a range of different drug delivery approaches, from traditional oral delivery to ocular and dermal delivery- Describes the various polymer types used in the synthesis and characterization of polymeric micelles- Covers recent advances in polymeric micelles, such as drug co-delivery, triblock polymeric micelles, delivery of genetic materials, and more
