Mucoadhesion defined as attachment of synthetic or natural
materials to mucosal tissues has been widely exploited in
pharmaceutical forms. This multi-author book provides an up-to-date
account of current research on mucoadhesive materials and drug
delivery systems. The introductory section describes the structure
and physiology of various mucosal surfaces (oral, nasal, ocular,
gastrointestinal and vaginal mucosa). This is followed by chapters
on the various methods used to study mucoadhesion and to
characterise mucoadhesive properties of various dosage forms. The
final section will summarise information on traditional and novel
types of mucoadhesive materials, such as chitosan, thiomers, and
liposome-based formulations. This book is unique as there is
currently no modern book considering mucoadhesion - all other
existing books on the topic are either narrowly focused or more
than 10 years old. Furthermore, each contributor offers specialist
perspectives from a variety of global locations in both industrial
and academic research centres.
