Nanotechnology enables companies to create better, faster, cheaper, and more powerful drug products. The first book to provide a broad overview for applying nanomaterials in pharmaceutical science, Nanomaterials for Pharmaceutical Scientists introduces nanotechnology concepts to pharmaceutical scientists and other non-physical science professionals and describes the applications of nanotechnology, including drug delivery, gene delivery, and biomimetic engineering. The text covers nanomaterial characterization techniques and applications as well as a chapter describing the environmental and human health impacts of nanotechnology.
