First published in 1996, liposomes have become an important model
in fundamental biomembrane research, including biophysical,
biochemical, and cell biological studies of membranes and cell
function. They are thoroughly studied in several applications, such
as drug delivery systems in medical applications and as controlled
release systems, microencapsulating media, signal carriers, support
matrices, and solubilizers in other applications. While medical
applications have been extensively reviewed in recent literature,
there is a need for easily accessible information on applications
for liposomes beyond pharmacology and medicine. The Handbook of
Nonmedical Applications of Liposomes fills this void.This unique
new handbook series presents recent developments in the use of
liposomes in many scientific disciplines, from studies on the
origin of life, protein function, and vesicle shapes, to
applications in cosmetics, diagnostics, ecology, bioreclamation,
and the food industry. In these volumes many of the top experts
contribute extensive reviews of their work.

This book is devoted to a broader understanding of liposomes as a
versatile tool used in many domains, including basic research and
applied technology, focusing on less common applications and recent
developments. Over the past few years, new types of liposomes made
of nonphospholipid molecules have opened new perspectives in
applications. These lipid vesicles, already used in cosmetology,
are being manufactured for industrial and agricultural uses.
However, "Stealth" liposomes, pH-sensitive liposomes, and cationic
liposomes have enlarged and improved the application field of
liposomes in clinical research. The book covers these different
uses of liposomes with particular attention to new formulations and
new applications.
