Summary

Polymer nanomaterials, including polymeric nanoparticles and polymeric–lipid hybrid systems, are advancing drug delivery and biomedical applications due to their tunable properties and biocompatibility. Green biosynthesis approaches enhance sustainability and reduce toxicity, while advanced characterization ensures quality and functionality. These materials exhibit significant antibacterial and therapeutic activities, addressing challenges such as antimicrobial resistance.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for cutting-edge research and critical reviews focusing on the design, synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of polymer nanomaterials.

The scope includes, but is not limited to:
1.Biosynthesis and green synthesis approaches for polymeric nanomaterials
2. Design and development of polymeric nanoparticles and polymeric–lipid hybrid nanoparticles
3. Advanced physicochemical characterization techniques and standardization strategies
4. Investigation of bioactivity, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties
5. Drug delivery applications, including targeted controlled, and stimuli-responsive systems
6. Applications in wound healing, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine
7. Role of polymer nanomaterials in overcoming antimicrobial resistance
8. Toxicological evaluation, biocompatibility, and regulatory considerations
