Inorganic Biomaterials for Drug Delivery

Inorganic biomaterials possess unique properties which traditionally make them ideal for use in medical implants; however, these same properties also bring advantages in drug delivery applications, such as bioactivity, controllable porosity and solubility, high mechanical strength and biocompatibility. Inorganic Biomaterials for Drug Delivery covers a wide range of inorganic biomaterial types and their properties, from traditional materials like ceramics, metallics, and bioglasses, to novel composites and nano-engineered inorganic biomaterials. 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. Inorganic Biomaterials for Drug Delivery 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 inorganic biomaterial classes for drug delivery, chapter-by-chapter, providing a one-stop-shop for readersConsiders both traditional inorganics and novel nanobiomaterials, offering a balanced approachWritten by a global team of experts from a range of related fields, this book offers a diverse, interdisciplinary guide to inorganic biomaterials for drug delivery INDICE: 1.
