Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure.
This Special Issue, "Biomaterials, Polymers, and Nanomaterials" of Applied Sciences will focus on recent advances in the field and current cutting-edge research ongoing in biomaterials. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology, and self-assembly at the nanoscale.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The synthesis and characterization of biomaterials
- The biomedical application of polymers and nanomaterials
- Drug delivery system
