ABSTRACT
One the best ways to minimize the harmful effect of drugs lies in the improvement of drug nano-carrier efficiency to deliver drugs to the specified sites. In recent decades, various attempts have been made to improve efficient drug nano-carriers to overcome limitations like poor target specificity, solubility and organ toxicity issues and make them more biocompatible and biodegradable. On the other hand, high activation barriers for drug adsorption and unfavorable thermodynamic parameters make the overall drug delivery process more complicated. In this regard, the use of advanced biomaterials, viz. synthetic polymeric as well as self-assembled substances, for the execution of drug transportation systems has been growing rapidly, as these materials are more biocompatible and can cross biological membranes easily and provide controlled and sustainable release of drug to the target sites. This chapter will address the synthesis and characteristics of suitable biomaterials regarding the applications of advanced drug transportation networks for the rehabilitation of heath-related issues.
