Overview

Over the past few years, the strides made in nanotechnology have propelled the creation of drug-delivery systems and devices. Integrating nanoscale technologies and nanomaterials in biomedical research poises to revolutionize treatments and diagnostics. Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutical Applications of Nanomaterials explores the forefront of scientific innovation where nanotechnology intersects with pharmaceuticals. This book digs into bioengineering tools and nanotechnology. This interdisciplinary approach encompasses the entire spectrum — from the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials to their application in therapeutics and drug delivery. The emphasis on experiential and experimental aspects provides scientists and researchers with a holistic understanding of nanomaterials-based nanocarriers and their pivotal role in advancing biomedical applications. The book guides the reader through the creation and characterization of nanomaterials, focusing on their unique physical, chemical, and biological attributes. The narrative extends to how these functional nanomaterials precisely modulate cellular environments in vitro and in vivo, serving as carriers for therapeutic or diagnostic agents. The prospect of nanomaterials in molecular imaging and selective drug delivery, a paradigm known as nanomedicine, is explored in detail. With chapters contributed by internationally renowned researchers, the book provides a panoramic view of potential future bioimaging and drug delivery applications. This book is ideal for researchers and graduate/post-graduate students in pharmaceutical, material sciences, biomedical science, and technology. Professionals, researchers, and college students keen on leveraging nanomaterials in pharmaceutical and medical applications will find this a valuable resource. Medical professionals, biologists, materials scientists, chemists, clinical researchers, and biomedical engineers in industry (R&D) and academia will discover insights that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Key thematic elements encompass nanotechnology, nanomaterials, drug delivery, drug targeting, theranostics, precision nanomedicine, cancer therapy, and a comprehensive array of specific nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, hydrogels, graphene oxide, cellulose-based multifunctional nanomaterials, quantum dots, gold nanoparticles, self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems, and 3D printed nanomaterials. The book also addresses the critical aspect of the toxicological profile of nanomaterials.
