The information contained in this book is critical for the more efficient use of composites, as detailed up-to-date information is a pre-requirement. The information provided brings cutting-edge developments to the attention of young investigators to encourage further advances in the field of bio-composite research.
Currently, biopolymers are being investigated for the design of various drug delivery and biomedical devices due to their non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Mostly, biopolymer-based solid orals, gels, hydrogel beads, and transdermal matrices have been designed in order to control drug/protein release in simulated bio-fluids.
- Presents the most updated information in the field of pharmaceutical and biological sciences
- Contains color figures and illustrations to help users understand key topics
- Useful guide for young researchers working towards new innovations
- Includes chapters covered by eminent scientists in the field
