This volume examines recent developments in the use of intelligent materials and systems for drug delivery. Controlled release technology is moving from being a simple carrier of active agents to becoming a powerful and flexible method that permits subtle modulation of the delivery profile based on the needs of the biological host. The chapters collected here cover recent advances in materials with responsive properties, novel concepts in controlled release technology, new applications, and microanalytical techniques for rapid and accurate measurements of small samples.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The 15 papers from a symposium in San Francisco in April 1997 report on the new levels of intelligence that are being incorporated into the design and performance of drug delivery and pharmaceutical systems. They include discussions of pulsative drug delivery based on a complexation-decomplexation mechanism, gel-coated catheters, overcoming the skin barrier with artificial smart carriers of drugs, cyclodextrin technology, liposomal delivery systems for phototherapeutic agents, and applying neural networks to optimize flux profiles for transdermal systems."--SciTech Book News
