Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field which includes fundamental nanoscale phenomena and processes, nanomaterials, nanoscale devices and systems, nanomanufacturing, and benefits and risks of nanotechnology. This book serves as a valuable reference and resource for those interested in the field of nanotechnology - from basic research to engineering aspects of nanoparticles. It covers thermodynamics to engineering aspects of nanoparticles or nanoemulsions; synthesis and applications of surface active lipids to food and cosmetics; and pharmaceutical applications to nanomedicine. Lipids in Nanotechnology will be useful to scholars, scientists, and technologists who are interested in the field of lipid nanotechnology. Discusses an overview of the opportunities and challenges of lipids in nanotechnologyPresents applications of nanotechnology for use in drug delivery, nanomedicine, and pharmaceutical developmentsExplores the potential for lipids to act as encapsulation agents or delivery vehicles of bioactive compounds INDICE: Chapter 1: Nanotechnology: Emerging Interest, Opportunities, and Challenges Chapter 2: Surface Active Lipids as Encapsulation Agents and Delivery Vehicles Chapter 3: Milk Phospholipids: A Nanocarrier System for Delivery of Bioactive Compounds Chapter 4: Marine Phospholipid Liposomes Chapter 5: Formulation of Lipid Micro/Nanodispersion Systems Chapter 6: Self-emulsifying Delivery Systems and Lipid Transport Chapter 7: Applications of Nanotechnology in Pharmaceutical Development Chapter 8: Lipid Nano-vehicles Based on Lyotropic Liquid Crystals as Drug Delivery Vehicles Chapter 9: Lipid Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery and Nanomedicine
