Polymeric and hybrid nanoparticles have received increased
scientific interest in terms of basic research as well as
commercial applications, promising a variety of uses for
nanostructures in fields including bionanotechnology and medicine.
Condensing the relevant research into a comprehensive reference,
Polymer and Polymer-Hybrid Nanoparticles: From Synthesis to
Biomedical Applications covers an array of topics from synthetic
procedures and macromolecular design to possible biomedical
applications of nanoparticles and materials based on original and
unique polymers.
The book presents a well-rounded picture of objects ranging from
simple polymeric micelles to complex hybrid polymer-based
nanostructures, detailing synthetic procedures, techniques for
characterization and analysis, properties, and behavior in
selective solvents and dispersions. Each chapter contains
background and introductory information, summarizing generalities
on the nanosystems being discussed. The chapters also describe
representative works of experts and provide in-depth, focused
discussions.
The authors present current knowledge on the following
topics:
- Designed synthesis of functional polymers
- Construction of block copolymer micellar and nonmicellar
self-assembled structures
- Construction of organic organic hybrid nanosized particles
- Construction of organic inorganic hybrid nanoparticles and
nanoassemblies
The final chapter addresses biological applications of polymeric
nanoparticles, including delivery of low-molecular-weight drugs,
macromolecular drugs, imaging and diagnostics, and photodynamic
therapy. Summarizing important developments in the field, the
authors condense relevant research into a comprehensive
resource.
