Opis

Engineering of biomaterials improves the key properties and function of the materials, enabling enhanced performance and efficacy in drug delivery applications. Engineered Biomaterials for Drug Delivery covers a core selection of engineering approaches and methods to optimize materials for drug delivery, including grafting, cross-linking, thiolation, conjugation and functionalization of biomaterials. A wide range of engineered biomaterial types are described, from biopolymers and nanobiomaterials, to metals, ceramics and composites. Biocompatibility, toxicity and regulatory considerations are also thoroughly discussed, ensuring the reader is fully equipped for efficient biomaterials selection and utilization in drug delivery applications. Engineered Biomaterials for Drug Delivery is a must-have reference for those working in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science and pharmacology, chemical engineering and clinical science.
