From natural to synthetic polymers, the possibilities to design and modify their physical-chemical properties make these systems of great interest in a wide range of biomedical applications as diverse as drug delivery systems, organ-on-a-chip, diagnostics, tissue engineering, and so on.In recent years, advances in the synthesis and modification of polymers and characterization techniques have allowed the design of novel biomaterials as well as the study of their biological behavior in vitro and in vivo.The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent achievements in the synthesis and modification of polymers for biomedical applications for final applications in the field of biomedicine.BiotechnologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc3D printing3D-bioprintingA549 cellsactuatorsadditive manufacturingamphiphilic block copolymeranti-lung cancerantibacterial activityantibacterial propertiesantifibrosisantimicrobials agentsantitumor efficacybioabsorbablebioadhesionbiocompatibilitybiocompositebiofabricationbiomaterialbiomaterialsbiomechanicalbiomedical applicationbiopolymerblack phosphoruscarboxymethyl cellulosecell encapsulationchemotherapychitosanchlorhexidinecisplatinclindamycincoatingcochlear implantscombination chemotherapyconstitutive modelcontrolled releasecurcumincurvaturedendritic polyglycerol sulfatesdextrandrug conjugationdrug deliverydrug delivery systemdual-responsivenessdual-sensitivedye releaseelectrospinningelectrosprayingellipsometric measurementexternal stimuliextracellular matrixFEAfilmfreeze dryingGanoderma lucidumgelatingemcitabinegenotoxicityglycerylphytatehealthcare system managementhemolysishemotoxicityherniahyaluronic acidhydrogelhydrogelshyper-elasticinnovationinterpenetrated polymer networklow methoxyl pectinlubrication propertiesmagnetite nanoparticlesmedical devicesmesenchymal stem cellmesh infectionmetal coordinationmethacrylated hyaluronic acidmicellemicrofluidicsmicroparticlesmicrowavemodified chitosannanocellulose fibernanofibrous dura maternanoparticlesnanotoxicologynatural polymersneuroprotectionnon-woven sheetpancreatic cancerpH-sensitive hydrogelPLGApoly(acrylic acid)poly(L-lactic acid)polyetheretherketonepolymerpolymer based bioadhesivepolymeric prodrugpolymerspolypropylenepolysaccharidesquartz crystal microbalance (QCM)quaternized polymerreactive hydrogelrifampicinscaffoldself-bending electrode arrayssemi-IPNsemiconductorsensorineural hearing losssilicone rubbersilicone rubber-hydrogel compositessodium alginatesodium carboxymethyl cellulosesoy proteinstatic mixersterilizationsuccinoglycanswelling behaviorswelling propertiessynergistic effectsynthesistetramethylpyrazinetissue maturationTween 80BiotechnologyTechnology: general issuesGarcía-Fernández Luisedt1313400García-Fernández LuisothBOOK9910580212803321Advanced Polymers for Biomedical Applications3031384UNINA
