For the rational design of many of these biomaterials it is necessary to have an understanding of polymer chemistry and polymer physics. Equally important to those two fields is a quantitative understanding of the principles that govern rates of drug transport, reaction, and disappearance in physiological and pathological situations. This book is a synthesis of these principles, providing a working foundation for those in the field of drug delivery. It covers advanced drug delivery and contemporary biomaterials UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0610/00050140-t.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0610/00050140-d.html ER -
