Preface
The book focuses on novel interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN)/semi-IPN technology for drug delivery and biomedical engineering. Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN)/semi-IPN technology is a simple and feasible method to fabricate nanomedicine, hydrogels, nanoparticles, microparticles, etc. in which hydrophilic polymer chain permeates another cross-linked polymeric network without any chemical bonds between them. Generally, IPNs are synthesized for the purpose of combining individual properties of two or more polymers. In some cases, entirely new properties are exhibited by the IPN that are not observed in either of the two single networks alone. The design and development of interpenetrating network polymers is attractive because IPNs provide free volume space for the easy encapsulation of drugs in the three-dimensional network structure, which are obtained by cross-linking of two or more polymer networks. Natural polymer-based IPNs can
