Nanoengineered Biomaterials for Drug Delivery explores the advances of the applications of nanoengineered biomaterials in drug delivery systems in recent years. Nanoengineered biomaterials have enhanced properties that make them more effective than conventional biomaterials as both drug delivery agents, and in the creation of new drug delivery systems. As nanoengineering becomes more cost-effective, nanoengineered biomaterials have become more widely used within biomedicine. This book discusses their major drug delivery applications.

The book covers a wide range of biomaterials and nanotechnology techniques that have been used for the delivery of different biological molecules and drugs in the human body. It is an important resource for biomaterials scientists and engineers working in biomedicine, wanting to learn more about how nanoengineered biomaterials are being used to enhance drug delivery for a variety of diseases.
