This book offers a state-of-the-art overview of controlled drug
delivery systems, covering the most important innovative
applications. The principles of controlled drug release and the
mechanisms involved in controlled release are clearly explained.
The various existing polymeric drug delivery systems are reviewed,
and new frontiers in material design are examined in detail,
covering a wide range of polymer modification techniques. The
concluding chapter is a case study focusing on use of a
drug-eluting stent. The book is designed to provide the reader with
a complete understanding of the mechanisms and design of controlled
drug delivery systems, and to this end includes numerous
step-by-step tutorials. It illustrates how chemical engineers can
advance medical care by designing polymeric delivery systems that
achieve either temporal or spatial control of drug delivery and
thus ensure more effective therapy that eliminates the potential
for both under- and overdosing.
