Block Co-polymeric Nanocarriers: Design, Concept, and Therapeutic Applications

Know about the book -

Block Co-polymeric Nanocarriers: Design, Concept, and Therapeutic Applications is written by Neeraj Mishra and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9819969174 (ISBN 10) and 9789819969173 (ISBN 13).

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 their relatively small size, high drug loading capacity, controlled drug release, in vivo stability, and prolonged blood circulation. The chapters also review the various patents and ongoing clinical trials on the applications, covering several important new concepts and findings in the field of block copolymers. The book is aimed at researchers, academicians, and industrial scientists involved in the development of drug-delivery systems based on polymers.
