Aims & Scope

The use and importance of biomedical polymers, especially in pharmacology, is growing rapidly. The Journal of Bioactive and Compatible Polymers is a fully peer-reviewed scholarly journal that provides biomedical polymer scientists and researchers with new information on important advances in this field. Examples of specific areas of interest to the journal include: polymeric drugs and drug design; polymeric functionalization and structures related to biological activity or compatibility; natural polymer modification to achieve specific biological activity or compatibility; enzyme modelling by polymers; membranes for biological use; liposome stabilization and cell modeling. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
