Interest in the application of nanotechnology to medicine has
surged in recent years and could transform the way we diagnose,
treat and prevent diseases such as cancer. However, the clinical
success of nanomedicine is limited because of problems with
toxicity and therapeutic efficacy. To overcome this it is essential
to produce new nanosystems with specific functions, which can be
achieved by designing new polymers with particular properties that
can be used for nanomedicine. Functional Polymers for Nanomedicine
provides a complete overview of the different strategies for
designing polymers for nanomedicine applications. The first part of
the book looks at the current problems and direction in
nanomedicine including a review of current design and targeting of
nanocarriers. The second part explores the design of polymers with
different functions including hyperbranched polymers, polymersomes,
polysaccharides, polymeric micelles and zwitterionic polymers and
their applications in gene therapy and drug delivery. This timely
book is edited by a leading scientist in nanomedicine and provides
a suitable introduction and reference source for advanced
undergraduates, postgraduates and academic and industrial
researchers in polymer science, nanotechnology and pharmacy
interested in materials for medical applications.
