ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the different synthetic polymer-based nanosystems and their pharmaceutical applications in drug delivery. It describes the different synthetic polymer-based nanosystems and their pharmaceutical applications in nanomedicine and drug delivery. Designing a device or medicine in the pharmaceutical world requires a great deal of consideration of how the characteristics of various materials will work with each other in order to influence the properties of the final product. Polymers in solution are used as facilitators in the creation of pharmaceutical formulations. In pharmaceuticals, polymers are used as excipients to formulate conventional dosage forms, such as tableting and semi-solid preparations. Polyacrylamide is a water-soluble polymer with a wide range of uses, including oil recovery, cosmetics, and biomedical applications such as carriers for delivery of drugs and bioactive molecules. Polyoxazolines are structurally similar to peptides, making them interesting in the biomedical field.
