Know about the book -

Engineered Carbohydrate-Based Materials for Biomedical Applications is written by Ravin Narain and published by John Wiley & Sons. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1118002245 (ISBN 10) and 9781118002247 (ISBN 13).

This book addresses the need for a comprehensive book on the design, synthesis, and characterization of synthetic carbohydrate-based polymeric materials along with their biological applications. The first two chapters cover the synthesis and self-assembly of glycopolymers and different techniques for creating these synthetic polymers. Subsequent chapters account for the preparation of block copolymers, branched glycopolymers, glycosurfaces, glycodendrimers, cationic glycopolymers, bioconjugates, glyconanoparticles and hydrogels. While these chapters comprehensively review the synthetic and characterization methods of those carbohydrate-based materials, their biological applications are discussed in detail.
