Smart Materials for Drug Delivery

Novel smart materials are needed for the design of intelligent drug delivery systems to enable the controlled release of active molecules. With so many papers available on smart and stimuli-responsive materials for drug delivery applications it's hard to know where to start reading about this exciting topic. Smart Materials for Drug Delivery will pull together the recent findings in the area and provide a critical analysis of the information available and how they can be applied to advanced drug delivery. Written by leading experts in the field, including a foreword from distinguished scientist Nicholas Peppas, The University of Texas at Austin, USA, the book will provide both an introduction to the key areas for graduate students and new researchers in the stimuli-responsive field as well as serving as a reference for those already working on fundamental materials research or their applications. This is the book to find out more about Smart Materials for Drug Delivery.
