More About This Title Mucoadhesive Materials and Drug Delivery Systems
- English
English
Mucoadhesion defined as attachment of synthetic or natural materials to mucosal tissues has been widely exploited in pharmaceutical forms. This multi-author book provides an up-to-date account of current research on mucoadhesive materials and drug delivery systems. The introductory section describes the structure and physiology of various mucosal surfaces (oral, nasal, ocular, gastrointestinal and vaginal mucosa). This is followed by chapters on the various methods used to study mucoadhesion and to characterise mucoadhesive properties of various dosage forms. The final section will summarise information on traditional and novel types of mucoadhesive materials, such as chitosan, thiomers, and liposome-based formulations.
This book is unique as there is currently no modern book considering mucoadhesion - all other existing books on the topic are either narrowly focused or more than 10 years old. Furthermore, each contributor offers specialist perspectives from a variety of global locations in both industrial and academic research centres.

Khutoryanskiy has taught modules in Dosage Form Design and Advanced Pharmaceutics to MPharm students for the past 5 years, as well as being invited to give talks relating to mucoadhesion at various universities, companies and scientific conferences. He has written 79 peer reviewed papers, 6 reviews, 3 book chapters, 1 edited book, and 2 patent applications. Prior to joining the University of Reading he worked as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at many universities including the Kazakh National Technical University, Khazakhstan, where he received a PhD in polymer chemistry.
