Polymeric Systems for Drug Delivery: From Synthesis to Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Applications“.
Special Issue Information
The development of drug delivery devices and systems was and still remain a topic of interest for the medical field due to the requirement to maximize the bioefficacy of therapeutic agents, to simplify the clinical applicability and to improve the quality of patient's life.
Polymers represent attractive drug matrices on the strength of their versatility in chemistry, which can lead to a controlled and sustained release of drugs in predetermined doses over long periods.
The aim of the Special Issue is to cover complex studies regarding all aspects of drug delivery:
1. Development of biopolymeric functionalized surfaces
2. Mechanisms of polymer degradation
3. Biodegradable and biomimetic polymers for tissue engineering: in vitro and in vivo tests
4. Polymer systems for drug delivery
5. Polymer composites
6. Synthesis of polymer particles and coatings
7. Characterization and analysis of polymers
8. Long term and short-term impact of specific delivery issues
9. Sustained delivery formulations
10. Polymer Modelling
All kind of delivery polymeric systems including oral, injectable, transdermal, and also approaches about controlled release systems (microspheres, nanoparticles, implants, functionalized coatings, gels, protein/peptide delivery) are targeted.
