International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials

Aims & Scope

International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials is the official publication of the International Society for Biomedical Polymers and Polymeric Biomaterials (ISBPPB).

This journal provides a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, English language articles and select reviews on all aspects of polymeric materials and biomedical polymers.

Being interdisciplinary in nature, this journal publishes extensive contributions in the areas of encapsulation and controlled release technologies to address innovation needs as well.

The journal will consider articles on the following: -Encapsulation (Microencapsulation) -Controlled Release Applications (pharmaceutical science, medicine, food technology, agriculture, energy, etc.) -Polymeric Biomaterials -Biomedical Polymers -Polymeric Materials (specific to medical related applications) The journal will consider original research articles, reviews, and book reviews.

Proposals for special issues in all the above areas are welcome and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief in the first instance.
