Abstract
Polymeric nanostructured materials (PNMs), which are polymeric materials in nanoscale or polymer composites containing nanomaterials, have become increasingly useful for biomedical applications. In specific, advances in polymer-related nanoscience and nanotechnology have brought about a revolutionary change to produce new biomaterials with tailored properties and functionalities for targeted biomedical applications. These materials, including micelles, polymersomes, nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanogels, nanofibers, dendrimers, and nanocomposites, have been widely used in drug delivery, gene therapy, bioimaging, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the various types of PNMs and biomedical applications, as well as the challenges in research and development of future PNMs.
