This book highlights the recent advances of thermodynamics and biophysics in drug delivery
nanosystems and in biomedical nanodevices. The up-to-date book provides an in-depth knowledge
of bio-inspired nanotechnological systems for pharmaceutical applications. Biophysics and
thermodynamics supported by mathematics are the locomotive by which the drug transportation
and the targeting processes will be achieved under the light of the modern pharmacotherapy.
They are considered as scientific tools that promote the understanding of physicochemical and
thermotropic functionality and behavior of artificial cell membranes and structures like
nanoparticulate systems. Therefore this book focusses on new aspects of biophysics and
thermodynamics as important elements for evaluating biomedical nanosystems and it correlates
their physicochemical biophysical and thermodynamical behaviour with those of a living
organism. In 2018 Prof. Demetzos was honored with an award by the Order of Sciences of the
Academy of Athens for his scientific contribution in Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology.
