Abstract

The ability to synthesise bioresponsive systems and selectively active biochemistries using polymer-based materials with supramolecular features has led to a surge in research interest directed towards their development as next generation biomaterials for drug delivery, medical device design and tissue engineering.

Keywords: Tissue engineering; drug delivery; functional materials; nanotechnology; regenerative medicine.
