Abstract
Bioinspired polymer membranes are artificial membranes designed to combine with biomolecules (proteins, enzymes, mimics, nucleic acids), which can not only improve the mechanical stability of the entire system but also provide an environment for maintaining the functions of biomolecules. The emergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology has promoted the revolutionary development, which allows the biologically inspired platforms that directly mimic the natural ingredients in the human body to show their ability to become one of the most versatile and innovative drug delivery systems in the treatment and diagnosis of different diseases. To achieve this goal in the present scenario, active drug delivery is an efficient delivery platform for the biologics to give target-specific results with minimum side effects and desired results (cellular uptake, pharmacokinetic parameters, etc.). In the past two decades, research in this field has developed rapidly and has provided many examples of biologically inspired materials that can reversibly change their stiffness, shape, porosity, density, or hardness under remote stimulation. This chapter summarizes the current state of research in the field of bioinspired drug delivery systems.
