Overview

Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units connected by covalent bonds, forming chains or networks with diverse physical and chemical properties. Research published in this journal addresses polymers across multiple biomaterial applications, including natural gum-based systems for pharmaceutical delivery, synthetic polymers for medical applications, and composite materials for specialized functions. Studies have examined natural polysaccharides such as gum Arabic, guar gum, acacia, and Sterculia urens gum as carriers for controlled drug release and colon-targeted delivery systems. Synthetic polymer research includes acrylate applications in enhanced oil recovery, poly-ε-caprolactone nanoadjuvants for tuberculosis vaccination, and pH-sensitive polymeric nanomedicines for gynecological cancer treatment. Additional work explores carbon-based polymer composites, including carbon nanotubes and polypyrrole nanocomposites for electromagnetic applications, as well as hybrid monolithic columns for molecular separation. The journal has also published investigations into polymer processing techniques such as additive manufacturing and biodegradable polymer production through graft copolymerization. This research matters because polymers serve as foundational materials in drug delivery, tissue engineering, industrial processes, and advanced manufacturing, with their tunable properties enabling solutions across pharmaceutical, medical, and materials science challenges.
