Natural Biopolymers for Drug Delivery, 1st Edition, presents an extensive reference examining the physical properties, practical benefits, and operational challenges of using natural biopolymers in drug delivery systems. Edited by Amit Kumar Nayak, Md Saquib Hasnain, and Tejraj M. Aminabhavi, this publication offers structured subject material for researchers and postgraduate students specializing in pharmaceutical science, biomedical engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology.
The thematic content organizes natural delivery systems across distinct structural biopolymer classes. Early sections examine plant-derived options, covering gum Arabic, pectin, starch, cellulose, and guar gum. Later sections analyze marine-derived biopolymers including alginates, agar agar, and carrageenan, clarifying how individual material properties influence therapeutic loading and release behavior.
Published in 2025 by Woodhead Publishing, this 846-page reference offers systematic reviews to assist academic and industrial research teams. The structured entries help postgraduate scholars and laboratory investigators assess biopolymer functionality when planning drug delivery formulations.
