This book focuses on current advancements in the field of block copolymers and covers design, concept, and various therapeutic applications in the drug delivery. It also reviews the use of block copolymers in drug delivery applications from the development of sustained release products to smart polymeric delivery systems such as stimuli-responsive polymeric systems, for example, thermosensitive, redox-sensitive, photo-sensitive, and enzyme-sensitive. The book further discusses the nano assemblies from amphiphilic block copolymers as nanomedicine platforms for diagnosis and therapy due to...

This book covers the characterization of nano-biomaterials in tissue repair and regeneration which are materials designed to interact with biological systems to restore and regenerate damaged tissues. These materials serve as scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), providing structural support and biochemical cues necessary for cellular activities. The physical and chemical properties of biomaterials are tailored to specific applications, such as bone regeneration, cartilage repair, wound healing, and organ transplantation. Biomaterials influence cell behavior and...
