This book covers the analysis of drug bioavailability, site-targeted therapeutics, as well as visual analytics of release profile at the delivery site as possible uses for nanotheranostics therapies following the route of smart polymers. It discusses pH as well as temperature-sensitive polymers and their recent and relevant applications as biomaterials in drug delivery and tissue engineering including dual-stimuli smart polymers.FeaturesInforms about the main challenges and prospects of nanotheranostics and smart polymersCovers biomedical application of smart polymers in imaging and therapyIncludes a wide description of the different polymer structures, from hydrogel, core-shell to foams and nanofibersIntroduces different types of emerging smart polymeric systemsDiscusses available potential of nanotheranostics and smart polymers towards commercializationThis book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in nanodrug delivery, polymeric delivery, bioimaging, and smart polymers.
