Biomaterials for controlled delivery of biologically active substances

Controlled delivery of biologically active substances is one of the most studied topics bringing together chemists, biologists, physicists, pharmacists, biomaterials scientists, biomedical engineers and physicians to develop interdisciplinary knowledge. Biomaterials for controlled delivery of biologically active substances are required in various biomedical fields and in cosmetic products. Controlled delivery systems can be used as the pharmaceutical products or incorporated in medical devices, implants, as well as hair, skin, and fabric care products. It is crucial to prolong the release rate of the active substances over an extended period of time, or provide their release upon defined external stimulus, e.g. temperature, pH.

Our special session is focused on recent developments in biomaterials for controlled delivery of biologically active substances. The main aim of this session is highlighting current progress in controlled delivery formulations.
