Biopolymer-Based Composites [EPUB ebook] 
Drug Delivery and Biomedical Applications

Biopolymer-Based Composites: Drug Delivery and Biomedical Applications presents a comprehensive review on recent developments in biopolymer-based composites and their use in drug delivery and biomedical applications. The information contained in this book is critical for the more efficient use of composites, as detailed up-to-date information is a pre-requirement. The information provided brings cutting-edge developments to the attention of young investigators to encourage further advances in the field of bio-composite research. Currently, biopolymers are being investigated for the design of various drug delivery and biomedical devices due to their non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Mostly, biopolymer-based solid orals, gels, hydrogel beads, and transdermal matrices have been designed in order to control drug/protein release in simulated bio-fluids. – Presents the most updated information in the field of pharmaceutical and biological sciences- Contains color figures and illustrations to help users understand key topics- Useful guide for young researchers working towards new innovations- Includes chapters covered by eminent scientists in the field
