Biopolymers in Drug Delivery: Recent Advances and Challenges
Description:
This Ebook describes the applicability of diverse natural and synthetic biopolymers and their blends in
drugs, vaccines and gene delivery. It would serve as a concise body of information on biopolymers for
researchers, industries and students of pharmaceutical, chemical, engineering and biomedical sciences.
Practical and theoretical concepts are presented in depth. Examples of yet untapped indigenous African
polymers with drug delivery potentials are highlighted. Many natural biopolymers with excellent drug
delivery properties have not been appropriately exploited because there is very concise body of information
that would demonstrate their potential. This Ebook should prove to be an important resource to researchers
in the field.
