Nanotechnology in Pharmaceutical Aerosol Science and Pulmonary Delivery

Nanotechnology in Pharmaceutical Aerosol Science and Pulmonary Delivery presents a comprehensive reference dedicated to the intersection of nanotechnology and inhalation drug delivery. Edited by internationally recognized experts Professors Heidi M. Mansour and Anthony J. Hickey, this authoritative volume explores the design, development, and evaluation of inhaled nanomedicines for targeted pulmonary therapy. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers across academia, industry, and regulatory sectors, the book covers a wide spectrum of topics—from the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and formulation strategies, to advanced in vitro and in vivo models, biopharmaceutical classification, and regulatory perspectives. Chapters delve into cutting-edge applications including nanoliposomes, nanocrystals, dendrimers, exosomes, and inhaled biologics, with a strong emphasis on translational science and therapeutic innovation. It serves as an essential resource for pharmaceutical scientists, nanotechnologists, biomedical scientists, clinicians, industrial scientists, and regulatory professionals. In addition, it serves as a valuable scientific resource for educators and students.
