DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents a thorough discussion of the physics, biology, chemistry and medicinal science behind a new and important area of materials science and engineering: polymer nanocomposites. The tremendous opportunities of polymer nanocomposites in the biomedical field arise from their multitude of applications and their ability to satisfy the vastly different functional requirements for each of these applications. In the biomedical field, a polymer nanocomposite system must meet certain design and functional criteria, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical properties, and, in some cases, aesthetic demands. The content of this book builds on what has been learnt in elementary courses about synthesising polymers, different nanoparticles, polymer composites, biomedical requirements, uses of polymer nanocomposites in medicine as well as medical devices and the major mechanisms involved during each application. The impact of hybrid nanofillers and synergistic composite mixtures which are used extensively or show promising outcomes in the biomedical field are also discussed. These novel materials vary from inorganic/ceramic-reinforced nanocomposites for mechanical property improvement to peptide-based nanomaterials, with the chemistry designed to render the entire material biocompatible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book outlines the use of supramolecules as different pharmaceutical drugs. Supramolecular chemistry in pharmaceutical sciences is quite a young and rapidly developing field. Supramolecular assemblies might offer an alternative for existing pharmaceutical formulations, as they facilitate the improvement of physicochemical and pharmacological properties i.e., higher bioavailability, better biocompatibility and drug-targeting, fewer multidrug-resistances. This book offers an overview of the recent advances in supramolecular structures and discusses the future aspects and challenges related to the development of these molecules, providing also a perspective on how to overcome these issues. Divided into 13 chapters contributed by experts in their field, the book provides a deeper understanding of intermolecular forces playing pivotal roles in mediating the interactions between chemical molecules and biological systems by focusing on different applications of supramolecular compounds. In this book, readers will find valuable insights into the preparation of supramolecules and the latest research and development trends of supramolecules as anticancer drugs, including liquid-crystalline supramolecular assemblies, and as antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular drugs. Particular attention is given to the application of supramolecules in the fields of biomedicine, bioimaging, and vaccine development. Given its breadth, this book will appeal to a wide readership from researchers and students interested in these fields to professionals in the pharma industry.
