findings and practical applications
Polyphosphazenes, an emerging class of polymers, include
macromolecules, which have been proven to be biocompatible,
biodegradable, and bioactive. Their unprecedented structural
diversity and unique properties make them suitable as vaccine
adjuvants, microencapsulating agents, biodegradable materials,
scaffolds for tissue engineering, biocompatible coatings, and
carriers for gene delivery.
Polyphosphazenes for Biomedical Applications offers a
thorough review of polyphosphazene research findings in the life
sciences, chemistry, and chemical engineering. It emphasizes
biomedical applications as well as recent advances in
polyphosphazene development such as high-throughput discovery and
the latest controlled methods of synthesis. The book brings
together, analyzes, and contextualizes a wealth of knowledge that
previously could only be found scattered throughout the scientific
literature.
Following two introductory chapters, the book reviews:
* Vaccine delivery and immunomodulation
* Biomaterials
* Drug delivery systems
* Biodetection
* Well-defined polyphosphazenes: synthetic aspects and novel
molecular architectures
All the chapters have been written by leading researchers in the
field. Editor Alexander Andrianov, who has led the effort to
commercialize polyphosphazenes for biomedical applications, has
carefully reviewed and edited all chapters to ensure readability,
accuracy, and thoroughness.
Polyphosphazenes for Biomedical Applications is not only
intended for researchers working in polyphosphazene chemistry, but
also for all researchers seeking solutions to problems arising in
the areas of biomaterials, drug delivery systems, and controlled
release formulations.
