Physicochemical Characterization of Drug Nanocarrriers

As presented in the previous chapters, nanocarriers have numerous potentialities in the contemporary world, especially when applied in pharmaceutical sciences, therefore, developed with a diagnostic or therapeutic purpose. Many of the atypical effects of nanostructures on biological systems occur due to their differentiated physicochemical properties, such as size, morphology and surface area. These properties imply effects such as changes in biodistribution, toxicity and permeation.
