Magnetic colloids are very promising stimuli-sensitive materials
for drug delivery because of their magnetic field responsiveness.
An applied magnetic field can concentrate the magnetic nanodevice
at the desired site, keeping it there until the drug is totally
released. Furthermore, the versatility of magnetic colloids allows
the design of multifunctional nanoplatforms with combined therapy
and imaging functionalities against diseases with high morbidity.
This book summarises the most important advances in the formulation
and functionalisation of such magnetic micro- and nano-particles,
and also describes the recent advances on their use in biomedicine.
