About the Book

In the area of controlled release of active substances, such as drugs, a strong interest in nanoparticles as carriers of active ingredients has arisen. Some of the active components are extremely hydrophobic, without cellular permeability and susceptible to metabolic degradation. Owing to this, their use is limited. This kind of agent can be transp

About the Author :
Jacqueline Forcada is associate professor in chemical engineering at the University of the Basque Country, Spain, and group leader at the Department of Applied Chemistry. Her research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, modeling, and biotechnological applications of functionalized polymeric and hybrid nanoparticles and nanogels. Alex van Herk is team leader and senior researcher at the Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences, Singapore, since 2012 and visiting professor in Polymer Reaction Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. His field of research is nanotechnology, water-based coatings, and emulsion polymerization. He has edited four books and authored more than 180 papers. Giorgia Pastorin joined the Faculty of Science at the National University of Singapore in June 2006, as assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacy. She became associate professor in the same department in July 2011. Her research interests focus on drug delivery (through the development of functionalized nanomaterials for potential biomedical applications) and medicinal chemistry (through the synthesis of heterocyclic molecules, as potent and selective GPCR ligands and potential therapeutics for several pathological conditions, including Parkinson's disease and cancer.
