This book will describe fundamentals and recent developments in the
area of Self-Assembled Supramolecular Architecture and their
relevance to the understanding of the functionality of membranes as
delivery systems for active ingredients. As the heirarchial
architectures determine their performance capabilities, attention
will be paid to theoretical and design aspects related to the
construction of lyotropic liquid crystals: mesophases such as
lamellar, hexagonal, cubic, sponge phase micellosomes. The book
will bring to the reader mechanistic aspects, compositional
considerations, transition within phases, solubilization
capacities, drug entrapment and release mechanisms and
transmembrane, transdermal, and other transport phenomena. It will
stress the importance of these mesostructures to crystallization
and polymorphism of drugs, fats, and nutraceuticals and will
discuss regioselectivity of organic and enzymatic reactions that
take place at interfaces and within the channels of the mesophase.
The book will bring studies on the use of these mesophase as
crystallization or particulation media for the formation of
nanoparticles and nanocrystals. Chapters will discuss applications
in the areas of pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, plastics, paper,
agro-chemistry and industrial applications.
