Stimuli-Responsive Nanocarriers for Targeted Drug Delivery [EPUB ebook] 

Stimuli-Responsive Nanocarriers for Targeted Drug Delivery presents a comprehensive overview of the most significant physical and chemical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. This book reviews targeted and controlled drug delivery systems and how nanocarriers can be used to improve the pharmacokinetics of drugs in biological systems, such as increasing utilization rate and reducing toxicity and side effects. After a key introduction to the topic, a range of nanocarrier types is assessed before exploring the clinical translation challenges and considerations involved.This book is a useful resource for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical science, and medicinal chemistry. — Offers an in-depth look at the basic and fundamental aspects of stimuli-responsive materials, mechanisms, structure, synthesis and properties- Provides information about well-defined categorization for stimuli-responsive drug delivery system based on different triggering mechanisms to its reader- Reviews basic concepts and the latest research involving advances in stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems in controlled-release drugs- Discusses novel approaches and challenges for scaling-up and commercialization of stimuli-responsive polymers
