Long description:
Natural Biopolymers for Drug Delivery thoroughly details the properties, benefits and challenges of using these biomaterials in drug delivery, with a strong focus on biocompatibility and reduction of unwanted interactions. An extensive range of natural biopolymers are explored, such as cellulose, chitosan, casein, gelatin, cashew gum, and many 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 is a must-have reference for those working in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science and pharmacology, chemical engineering and clinical science.


  • Comprehensively covers all key natural biopolymer classes for drug delivery, chapter-by-chapter, providing a one-stop-shop for readers
  • Discusses biocompatibility, biodegradability and toxicity considerations, as well as regulatory issues
  • Written by a global team of experts from a range of related fields, this book offers a diverse, interdisciplinary guide to natural biopolymers for drug delivery
