Carbohydrate-based polymer nanocarriers for environmentally friendly applications
Effective delivery of active substances and drugs is an important part of treatment. In order for a drug to work at the right place in the body, it must be transported there in the right way. For this reason, new carriers are being sought for active substances and drugs that can effectively deliver drugs to the target site without causing additional side effects. These include nanoparticles, microneedles, cubosomes and nanogels, among others. Recently, carriers based on biodegradable polymers such as hyaluronic acid or chitosan are becoming popular. In addition, modern carriers are designed to release the active ingredient in response to a specific agent. This paper reviews the literature from the past 5 years on novel delivery systems with medical, agricultural, food and cosmetic applications, with a special emphasis on the use of carbohydrate-based nanocarriers.
期刊介绍：
"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science" is an international journal that focuses on experimental and theoretical developments in interfacial and colloidal phenomena. The journal covers a wide range of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, and technology.
The journal accepts review articles on any topic within the scope of colloid and interface science. These articles should provide an in-depth analysis of the subject matter, offering a critical review of the current state of the field. The author's informed opinion on the topic should also be included. The manuscript should compare and contrast ideas found in the reviewed literature and address the limitations of these ideas.
Typically, the articles published in this journal are written by recognized experts in the field.
