Overview
Synthetic biopolymers provide a readily available alternative to natural biopolymers found in nature, as well as being more easily modified for specific applications, such as drug delivery. Synthetic Biopolymers for Drug Delivery covers a wide range of synthetic biopolymer types and their unique properties, including PLA, PLGA, PCL, Carbopols, cyclodextrins, synthetic lipids and much more. Biocompatibility, toxicity, and regulatory considerations are also thoroughly discussed, ensuring the reader is fully equipped for efficient biomaterials selection and utilization in drug delivery applications. This book is a must-have reference for those working in the fields of Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmacology, Chemical Engineering, and Clinical Sciences.
