Polymeric Drug Delivery II: Polymeric Matrices and Drug Particle Engineering

By Sönke Svenson

Polymeric Drug Delivery: Polymeric Matrices and Drug Particle engineering is designed to bridge the gap between industrial and academic researchers in drug delivery and the pharmaceutical industry because conferences focus one of these two aspects. The book covers three main topics of drug delivery: the use of particulate carriers to transport actives to specific sites within the body, the use of matrices to tailor release rates to drug specific needs, and technologies to engineer drug particles in a way that will improve their bioavailability. Polymeric materials are being used in all three areas, as carriers, matrices, or part of the formulation of drug particles.
