Abstract
Biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles have been extensively used for targeted drug delivery mostly because of their potentialities to carry multifunctional properties. This chapter shows that nanoparticles can be made of different types of materials and prepared by multiple preparation methods that allow for the entrapment of all types of drugs, small and large, hydrophilic and lipophilic. Moreover, this chapter makes clear that polymer chemistry and the discovery of new grafting methods have opened the way to modification, leading to the covalent linkage on their surface by either poly(ethylene glycol) for long blood circulation time, or ligands for specific biorecognition. The future of such targeting systems relies on the discovery of new and specific targets that will permit the use of targeted nanoparticles in several therapeutic applications.
