Exploring Polymeric Nanosystems in Theranostics

By Md Saquib Hasnain, the book “Polymeric Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume One” delves into the applications of nanotherapeutic systems and nanodiagnostics in relation to polymeric nanosystems. Over the past decade, numerous biopolymers have been utilized to prepare polymeric nanosystems for therapeutic applications.

These biopolymers include polylactic acid, polylactide-co-glycolide, polycaprolactone, acrylic polymers, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, alginates, chitosan, gellan gum, gelatin, albumin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, guar gum, gum Arabic, gum tragacanth, xanthan gum, and starches. Besides these biopolymers, grafted polymers are also being used as advanced polymeric materials to prepare many theranostic nanocarriers and nanoformulations.

This book aims to explore the array of polymeric nanosystems to understand therapeutic potentials. It will be useful to pharmaceutical scientists, including industrial pharmacists and analytical scientists, health care professionals, and regulatory scientists actively involved in the pharmaceutical product and process development of tailor-made polysaccharides in drug delivery applications.

It contains in-depth discussions of the polymeric nanosystems including high-quality graphics, flowcharts, and graphs for enhanced understanding. It reviews the literature on polymeric nanosystems while also suggesting new avenues. It includes contributions in all areas of polymeric nanosystems, providing a thorough and interdisciplinary work.
