Description :

Controlled pulmonary drug delivery begins by examination of the foundations for pulmonary drug delivery the macro and microstructure of the airways lung clearance airway absorption and transport aerosol physics and a historical overview of the field unlike other texts these chapters are written specifically with drug delivery in mind. Controlled pulmonary drug delivery 2011 advances in delivery science and technology it is clear that our understanding of pulmonary drug delivery has now evolved to the point that inhalation aerosols can be controlled both spatially and temporally to optimize their biological effects this reference text endeavors to bring together . Controlled pulmonary drug delivery is the first book in the crs advances in delivery science and technology series this book is published in partnership with springer and was released in july 2011. Advances in delivery science and technology series editor cessfully achieve controlled pulmonary drug delivery austin tx hugh dc smyth chapel hill nc anthony j hickey vii acknowledgments the editors would like to express thanks to all the authors who devoted significant. In addition to the multiple emulsion method other techniques are also developed to prepare large porous particles for controlled pulmonary drug delivery including precision particle fabrication technology high voltage electrostatic antisolvent method supercritical fluid technology 40 41 42 43 and single emulsion technique 44 45 and their properties for sustained drug release are summarized in table 1
