Applications of Polymers for Drug Delivery, Cancer Therapy and Antibacterial

Abstract

The mortality rate of cancer is gradually increasing every year. The application of polymers in biomedicine is one of the key research directions today. A number of researchers have found that polymers have great potential in chemotherapy, yet there is a research gap regarding the toxicity of the drugs to patients. Therefore, this research will introduce the application of a diverse of different polymer materials in biomedicine. Specifically, this research will mainly demonstrate the application of functional polymer materials in the following aspects, including drug delivery, anti-cancer, and antibacterial. On this basis, this study will also look forward to some development trends of polymer materials in the future application of biomedicine. This research suggestion is to find a way to combine the good biodegradability of thermos responsive polymers with the manipulability of magneto responsive carriers to achieve more desirable polymer applications.
