Soft Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

This fully revised and updated second edition of the popular 2014 title presents a detailed review of soft nanoparticles and their biomedical applications which range from imaging to therapeutics and diagnostics. Each chapter provides a description of the synthesis of the particles and, in addition, the book covers techniques used to characterize the nanoparticles including modelling and simulation methods, together presenting a strong physicochemical approach to the topic.This new edition updates many of the original chapters, providing current insight into the field, and three new chapters focusing on exosomes, nanoemulsions and water-in-water emulsions, and nanoparticles for multiple sclerosis.Given the multidisciplinary nature of the topic, this book – edited by experts in the field – is suitable for postgraduates and academics who work at the soft matter junction of physics, chemistry and biology.
