Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Biocompatible Polymers for Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery” is devoted to the dissemination of high-quality original research articles or comprehensive reviews on cutting-edge developments in this interdisciplinary field. In recent years, polymer science and technology has been driven by scientific breakthroughs in biomedical applications. A large number of polymeric materials have been developed for biomedical applications, and new advances are being made for the treatment of different diseases, promoting human well-being. The increasing interest in polymeric materials may be due to their synthesis, which is often relatively low-cost and easy, as well as their potential to obtain a wide range of properties and functionalities for biomedical applications. This excitement is fostered through the convergence of physical, digital, and biological sciences, which will bring about profound changes in the way we design and produce biomedical devices, especially concerning the interfaces between polymeric and biological materials.
