Pharmaceutical Applications of Polymeric Nanomaterials

摘要

With significant attention focused on nanoscience and nanotechnology in recent years, nanomaterials have been used in a wide variety of applications such as automotive, environmental,energy, catalysis, biomedical, drug delivery, and polymeric industries. Among those fields, the application of nanomaterials with pharmaceutical science is an emerging and rapidly growing field and has drawn increasing attention recently. Research and development in this field is mainly focused on several aspects such as the discoveries of novel functional nanomaterials, exploration on nanoparticles with controlled and targeted drug delivery characteristics, and investigation of biofunctionalized and diagnostic nanomaterials.In this special issue, we have invited a few papers related to recent advances in pharmaceutical application of polymeric nanomaterials.
