What is Polysaccharides for Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutical Applications (ACS Symposium Series) about?

## Overview During the past decades, we have seen the pharmaceutical industry grow at a tremendous rate. Along with the discoveries of new drugs for various preventive and therapeutic treatments, the need for novel materials and methods to deliver them energized the field of drug delivery creating new opportunities for material scientists. Drug delivery companies have redefined the picture of the pharmaceutical industry as not only providing tools for the delivery of novel drugs but also as applying their technology to existing formulations available on the market. By doing so, already marketed drugs are given better bioavailability, easier administration, and fewer side effects while giving the patient an optimum treatment. Among those materials, the pharmaceutical industry has since the beginning relied on starch and cellulose, the most abundant natural polymers on earth. Because of the wide variety and range of physicochemical properties created by Mother Nature, and the possibility to perform a large number of specific modifications, polysaccharides are choice starting materials. Nowadays, many polysaccharides are used, modified and transformed to serve the ever evolving pharma
