The environmental concerns on our planet have expanded dramatically in recent decades and are now among the most serious challenges affecting people¿s well- being around the globe. Environmental sustainability is one of the factors which are in close relevance with peace. Because, lack of environmental sustainability might cause in conflict over food, water, energy and also might violate human right and threaten human sustainable development. Environmental Education as a type of peace education is a key lever of sustainability, and it is considered more and more frequently as necessary. Environmental Education is cardinal to addressing environmental degradation and ensuring environmental sustainability. The main question here is that that how environmental education as a type of peace education can contribute to environmental sustainability? A question that is the main core of this writing which try to provide an illustration of a working model to settle environment-driven peace threatening factors.

Examines smart nanocarriers that respond to internal stimuli that are intrinsic to the target site. These stimuli are specific to the cell type, tissue or organ type, or to the disease state. pH-responsive nanostructures can be used for cargo release in acidic endosomal compartments, in the lower pH of tumors, and for specific oral delivery either to the stomach or intestine.

The concept of smart drug delivery vehicles involves designing and preparing a nanostructure (or microstructure) that can be loaded with a cargo, this can be a therapeutic drug, a contrast agent for imaging, or a nucleic acid for gene therapy. This volume covers smart nanocarriers that respond to externally applied stimuli that usually involve application of physical energy.

The concept of drug targeting as a magic bullet has led to research in chemical modification to design and optimize the binding to targeted receptors. This book covers advances based on different drug delivery systems: polymeric and hyper branched nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, nature-inspired nanomaterials, and pathogen-based carriers.

Describes different features of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), surveys the properties of both the multi-walled and single-walled varieties, and covers their applications in drug and gene delivery. In addition, the book explains the structure and properties of CNTs prepared by different methods, and discusses their isolation and purification.
