Opis

This book offers a thorough, practice-oriented overview of pharmaceutical nanotechnology, effectively bridging fundamental scientific principles with real-world drug delivery applications. It explains key nanoscale physicochemical concepts-such as particle size, surface chemistry, and interfacial behavior-and shows how these factors influence drug solubility, stability, bioavailability, targeting, and therapeutic outcomes. The text critically reviews major nanocarrier systems, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, lipid-based carriers, nanocrystals, micelles, nanoemulsions, hybrid platforms, and emerging biomimetic and theranostic systems, with a strong emphasis on rational, problem-driven formulation design rather than generic solutions. A unique strength is its detailed coverage of nano-herbal and phyto-nanotechnology, demonstrating how nanotechnology can modernize traditional medicines through better standardization, pharmacokinetics, and clinical relevance. The book also integrates regulatory considerations, manufacturing scalability, sustainability, and recent advances such as AI-assisted formulation, precision nanomedicine, and green nanotechnology.
