Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Bioactive and Compatible Polymers focuses on the development and characterization of polymeric materials for biomedical applications. Research includes the creation of hydrogels, scaffolds, and membranes from natural and synthetic polymers for tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery. Studies also investigate the biocompatibility, degradation, and functional properties of these materials, often incorporating bioactive agents or nanoparticles to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
