Polymeric Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume One delves into the realm of therapeutic applications and diagnostic techniques utilizing polymeric nanosystems. Over the past decade, a wide range of biopolymers has been employed to create polymeric nanosystems for medical purposes. These biopolymers encompass polylactic acid, polylactide-co-glycolide, polycaprolactone, acrylic polymers, cellulose and its derivatives, alginates, chitosan, gellan gum, gelatin, albumin, chontroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, guar gum, gum Arabic, gum tragacanth, xanthan gum, and starches. Furthermore, grafted polymers are also being utilized as advanced polymeric materials to develop numerous theranostic nanocarriers and nanoformulations. This comprehensive book aims to unravel the diverse array of polymeric nanosystems, shedding light on their potential for therapeutic advancements. It serves as a valuable resource for pharmaceutical scientists, including industrial pharmacists and analytical scientists, healthcare professionals, and regulatory scientists actively engaged in the development of tailor-made polysaccharides for drug delivery applications.
