For the PDF eBook edition, go to The ASME Digital Collectionat: http://ebooks.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/book.aspx?bookid=655

Up to 40 volumes are planned for this concise monograph series,which focuses on the implementation of various engineeringprinciples in the conception, design, development, analysis andoperation of biomedical, biotechnological and nanotechnologysystems and applications.

ABSTRACT: Nanomaterials have gained immense recognition,particularly in biomacromolecular delivery, owing to theircapability of diagnosis, controlled drug release or targeting atmolecular, cellular and organ level. The present monographendeavors to describe the role of nanomaterials in the developmentof various nanostructured, biomacromolecular delivery systems. Thisvolume presents a discussion on various physicochemical properties,preparation techniques and analytical tools for characterizingthese systems. The mechanisms of cellular internalization ofnanomaterial based targeted systems is also embarked upon. Variouschallenges posed during the development, scale up and large-scaleproduction is discussed. A brief overview pertaining to theregulatory requirements and commercialization of these systems isalso included. Taking lead from various successful case studies,the monograph provides a bird’s eye view on the current advances inthe field of nanomaterial based biomacromolecular delivery.Concisely, this volume acts as a ready reckoner for drug deliveryscientists working in this area.
