Springer Emerging Technologies for Nanoparticle Manufacturing

This book provides an overview of nanoparticle production methods, scale-up issues drawing attention to industrial applicability, and addresses their successful applications for commercial use.  There is a need for a reference book which will address various aspects of recent progress in the methods of development of nanoparticles with a focus on polymeric and lipid nanoparticles, their scale-up techniques, and challenges in their commercialization.  There is no consolidated reference book that discusses the emerging technologies for nanoparticle manufacturing.  This book focuses on the following major aspects of emerging technologies for nano particle manufacturing. I.  Introduction and Biomedical Applications of Nanoparticles II. Polymeric Nanoparticles III. Lipid Nanoparticles IV. Metallic Nanoparticles V.  Quality Control for Nanoparticles VI. Challenges in Scale-Up Production of Nanoparticles VII. Injectable Nanosystems VIII. Future Directions and Challenges Leading scientists are selected as chapter authors who have contributed significantly in this field and they focus more on emerging technologies for nanoparticle manufacturing, future directions, and challenges.     From the Back Cover This book provides an overview of nanoparticle production methods, scale-up issues drawing attention to industrial applicability, and addresses their successful applications for commercial use.  There is a need for a reference book which will address various aspects of recent progress in the methods of development of nanoparticles with a focus on polymeric and lipid nanoparticles, their scale-up techniques, and challenges in their commercialization.  There is no consolidated reference book that discusses the emerging technologies for nanoparticle manufacturing.  This book focuses on the following major aspects of emerging technologies for nano particle manufacturing.
