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.
