Nano-Biomaterials For Ophthalmic Drug Delivery

Meer over het boek

This consolidated reference book addresses various aspects of nano biomaterials in ophthalmic drug delivery, covering characterization, interactions with the ophthalmic system, and applications in treating eye diseases. Recent advancements in polymer sciences, nanotechnology, and biotechnology have led to the development of new nano- and bioengineered materials, extensively explored as drug delivery carriers and for implantable devices and scaffolds. At the intersection of nanomaterials and biological systems, a new science emerges focused on the safe application of nanotechnology and the design of materials for biological use. Understanding the dynamic forces and molecular components shaping these interactions is crucial for the field's evolution. While it is challenging to detail all the biophysicochemical interactions at play, the accumulated knowledge provides a conceptual framework guiding exploration and future product development. This resource is valuable for academics and pharmaceutical scientists in polymers, drug delivery systems, and ophthalmic applications, as well as medical and healthcare professionals in these domains.
