Polymer Characterization and Materials Science

Product Description
The UNESCO School and IUPAC Conference in April 2001 was the fourth to be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa. World authorities are invited to give tutorials at the School and presentations at the Conference to expose South African students and researchers to new ideas in the area of macromolecular science. Continuing the theme of Macromolecules and Materials Science, the focus was on polymer characterization, new polymer architectures and nanomaterials. A number of papers presented at the Conference are collected in this volume of Macromolecular Symposia.

Dendrimer-Based Nanomedicine

Product Description
In recent decades, dendrimers — free-shaped synthetic macromolecules — have garnered a great deal of scientific interest due to their unique molecular nanostructure. Used in a variety of scientific applications, the use of dendrimers is now widely regarded as a safer, more precise, and more effective way to practice medicine.

This book compiles and details cutting-edge research in science and medicine from the interdisciplinary team of the Michigan Nanotechnology Institute for Medicine and Biological Sciences, who are currently revolutionizing drug delivery techniques through the development of engineered nanodevices. Edited by Istvan J Majoros and James Baker, Jr., two prominent nanotechnology researchers, this book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, macromolecular science, cancer therapy, or drug delivery research.

Contents: Targeted Drug Delivery in General, New Technology in Medicine (B B Ward & J R Baker, Jr.); General Carriers for Drug Delivery (T H Dunham et al.); Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimer Synthesis and Characterization (I J Majoros & D E Carter); Optical and Biophotonic Applications of Dendrimer Conjugate (J Y Ye & T B Norris); Dendrimer Conjugates for Cancer Treatment (I J Majoros et al.); Biological Application of PAMAM Dendrimer Nanodevices in vitro and in vivo (T P Thomas & J F Kukowska-Latallo); Dendrimer-based Targeted Apoptosis Sensors for Medical Application (A Myc et al.); MRI Using Targeted Dendrimer Contrast Agents (S D Swanson & C R Williams); Nanoparticle Membrane Interactions: Mechanism for Enhanced Permeability (S Hong et al.); Computer Simulations of Dendrimers (S K Kandasamy et al.); Dendrimer-Entrapped and Dendrimer-Stabilized Metal Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications (X-Y Shi & S H Wang).
