Polymeric Materials for Medical Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Biomaterials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, utilization of materials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Polymeric materials have been utilized to fulfill needs related to a variety of tissues and diseases involved in the human body. Biological, synthetic and hybrid polymers are used for multiple medical applications such as surgical sutures, implants, scaffolds in regenerative medicine, dental devices, hearing aids, biosensors, and drug delivery systems. In this Special Issue on “Polymeric Materials for Medical Applications”, the scope will be on new developments in polymeric materials with great potential for clinical translation. Recent advances in polymeric materials with desired physical, architectural, dimensional, chemical, biological, biomechanical and degradation properties to match the requirements of specific applications would be the highlight of this Issue.
