Summary
Nanomedicines comprise a wide range of nanotechnologies including various types of nanoparticles developed as therapeutic, diagnostic and theranostic agents. The translation of nanoparticles in the clinical setting is rapidly progressing. It is now a quite well-established idea that the ultimate in vivo efficacy of nanoparticles is closely related to their characteristics. However, defining specification and designing nanoparticles based on scientifically sound justifications remains an obstacle. Another hurdle concerns the production of the nanoparticles in the requirements of clinical batch manufacturing and quality control. In these challenges, polymer nanoparticles are unique. Their characteristics can be finely tuned during synthesis and post-synthesis to cover the broad range of specificity that can be defined, with a high level of precision needed to make their in vivo application successful. Their methods of synthesis can be quite precise and most of them are scalable. The topic of the present book covers all steps of the development of polymer nanoparticles to be used as therapeutic or diagnostic nanomedicine. It is aimed to guide researchers, entrepreneurs, engineers, postdoctoral and Ph.D. students in their decisions for the design and development of nanomedicines occurring as polymer nanoparticles. The book is divided into four sections.
