Academic Press Inorganic Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume 2

Inorganic Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume Two examines the applications of nanotherapeutic systems and nanodiagnostics in relation to polymeric nanosystems. 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. It will be useful to pharmaceutical scientists, including industrial pharmacists and analytical scientists, health care professionals, and regulatory scientists actively involved in the pharmaceutical product and process development of tailor-made polysaccharides in drug delivery applications. Review Provides thorough insights into discussions about the preparation, properties and theranostic applications of polymeric nanosystems From the Back Cover <i>Inorganic Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume 2</i> is an interdisciplinary work examining the applications of nanotherapeutic systems as well as nanodiagnostics in relation to inorganic nanosytems. In the last decade, numerous biopolymers have been utilized to prepare polymeric nanosystems for therapeutic applications. Various inorganic materials, such as carbon, silica, gold, silver, zinc, iron, copper, cadmium, calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and bioglass are utilized to prepare numerous inorganic nanosystems as theranostic nanosystems. This book explores these inorganic nanosystems to understand therapeutic potentials. Inorganic Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume 2 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.
