Publisher: Springer Verlag, Singapore


The book delves into groundbreaking interpenetrating polymer network (IPN)/semi-IPN technologies, revolutionizing drug delivery and biomedical applications. The dynamic design and development of these intricate networks stem from their remarkable ability to create free volumes, enabling efficient encapsulation of drugs within the three-dimensional network structure formed through cross-linking multiple polymer networks. Natural polymer-based IPNs exhibit controlled drug release over extended periods, while novel IPNs enhance mechanical strength and sustain/controlled drug-delivery properties.

This comprehensive volume offers a comprehensive overview of the utilization of this technology to fabricate nanomedicine, hydrogels, nanoparticles, and microparticles, thereby unlocking the immense potential of IPNs in the realm of drug delivery and biomedical engineering. It also explores the applications of IPN systems in cancer therapy and tissue engineering, providing detailed descriptions of various IPN systems and their extensive usage and applications in drug delivery.

The book is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and professionals in the field of drug delivery and biomedical engineering, providing a deep understanding of the latest advancements and applications of IPN technologies.
