Description

Smart Drug Delivery at the Micro- and Nanoscale is a book about new ways to make medicine work better by using very tiny materials. These tiny materials can help deliver medicine exactly where it’s needed, making treatments more effective and reducing side effects, which helps patients get better faster.

The book explains the latest research on these “smart” materials and how they can be used to carry medicine to the right place in the body.

Key ideas include:

• What micro- and nanoscale materials are and how they help deliver medicine.
• Different types of materials like plastics, metals, and tiny particles called quantum dots and carbon nanotubes.
• How these materials can respond to things like heat, light, sound, or even the body’s natural changes to release the medicine at the right time.
• What the future might look like for smart drug delivery systems.

This book is perfect for anyone interested in science, medicine, and finding new ways to help people feel better!
