Sommario/riassunto

Magnetic colloids are very promising stimuli-sensitive materials for drug delivery because of their magnetic field responsiveness. This book summarises the important advances in the formulation and functionalisation of such magnetic micro- and nano-particles, and also describes the advances on their use in biomedicine.
