Opis

Addresses the challenges of designing macromolecules that deliver therapeutic agents that function safely and in concert with living organisms. This book discusses classes of polymers and polymeric vehicles, including particulates, such as latexes, coacervates, ion-exchange resins, and liposomes, as well as non-particulate vehicles.
