Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional polymers have been designed to have specific properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, stimuli-responsiveness, and bioactivity, that make them useful in biomedical applications. Functional polymers are used in a wide variety of biomedical applications including drug delivery, biosensors, tissue engineering, therapeutic agents, bioimaging, and medical devices.
Functional polymers are a promising new class of materials that have the potential to revolutionize the way that we treat diseases and injuries. As our understanding of these materials continues to grow, we can expect to see even more innovative applications in the years to come. This Special Issue, "Functional Polymer Applications in Biomedicine", aims to collect articles or reviews related to the research and applications of functional polymers in biomedicine, including but not limited to drug delivery applications. We welcome all scholars to submit their papers.
Dr. Gagandeep Kaur
