Advances in the Formulation of Nanocarriers for Healthcare and Environmental Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Nanochemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocarriers, due to their small size, have unique properties which make them appealing in many application areas. Using different types of nanosystems, it is possible to obtain more well-constructed and smarter products in many areas linked to human health, from medicine to the food industry, without neglecting environmental protection and animal farm welfare.
In recent decades, research on nanotechnologies has increasingly been directed beyond the field of nanodrugs and nanomedicine to the agrifood and livestock sectors, obtaining encouraging results.
As Guest Editors, we would like to encourage potential contributors to submit their original research in the form of full papers, communications, and critical reviews, on all aspects related to the title of this Special Issue: “Advances in the formulation of Nanocarriers for Healthcare and environmental applications”.
Research areas may include the following:
- Drug delivery systems;
- Nanomedicines;
- Nanotechnologies in agrifood and livestock fields;
- Nanocarriers for target-specific pollutant capture;
- Sustainable nanocarriers for environmental management and remediation.
