Summary:

Magnetic colloids are very promising stimuli-sensitive materials for drug delivery because of their magnetic field responsiveness. This book summarises the important advances in the formulation and functionalisation of such magnetic micro- and nano-particles, and also describes the advances on their use in biomedicine.

Contents:

Design and improvement of magnetic colloids

Properties of magnetic colloids to be tailored for drug delivery

Biological fate and toxicity

Drug delivery by magnetic colloids

Multifunctional nanoplatforms based on magnetic colloids

Biomedical applications of magnetic colloids non-related to drug delivery.
