Polymer-based Nanovesicles

Abstract

Polymer-based nanovesicles are nanosized structures loaded with active pharmaceutical compounds entrapped within, or surface-adsorbed onto, the polymeric core for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. The physicochemical properties of polymeric nanovesicles greatly impact their bioavailability, biocompatibility, biodistribution, and biosafety. In this chapter recent advances in characterization methods of polymeric nanovesicles are discussed.
