Synopsis

The technology of controlled release is a rapidly developing area which encompasses a diverse range of disciplines. Microencapsulation traps the active agent and separates it from the immediate environment. This technique protects labile entities such as enzymes, and can enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce the incidence of side-effects by directing or targeting the active agent to its side of action. This volume brings together a wide range of topics on microencapsulation, including studies on encapsulating materials, and presents an up-to-date overview of recent developments in the field.
