Abstract:

The book is an essential resource for anyone in the pharmaceutical field, as it provides in-depth insights into the versatile roles of polymers in controlled drug delivery, highlighting their critical applications in product innovation, development, and manufacturing. Pharmaceutical Polymer Formulations and Its Applications provides an overview of the applications of pharmaceutical polymers in the vast field of controlled drug delivery. Polymers have the potential for a range of uses in the design of pharmaceutical dosage forms. They can be used as suspending, emulsifying, binding, or flocculant agents, as well as adhesives and packaging and coating materials. They can be used to make gels, nanoparticles, microparticles, and various capsules. Polymers have played an indispensable role in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. This volume includes various polymers used in pharmacy based on their applications. The overviews focus on the use of pharmaceutical polymers for controlled drug delivery applications. Examples of pharmaceutical polymers and the principles of controlled drug delivery are outlined, and applications of polymers for controlled drug delivery are also discussed. Readers will find the book: - Explores the latest tactics utilized for the application of polymers in the healthcare industry; - Showcases the numerous innovations of polymers in manufacturing of pharmaceuticals; - Provides essential elements for the conceptualization and comprehension of polymer products by highlighting their aspects and overcoming manufacturing, regulatory, and quality control obstacles. Audience The book will interest chemists and healthcare professionals interested in pharmaceutical innovation using polymers.
