Polymers have generated enormous interest in the field of biomedicine and healthcare. These materials have become an integral part of human life where people try to use innovative products and systems with innovative features. The advancement in the polymeric materials for biomedical applications over the past century has been largely due to the ongoing innovations in medical science and technology. It is, therefore, important to have a close interaction of material scientists, biologists, pharmacologists and medical practitioners, so that a well defined goal and direction may be pursued towards the healthcare scenario for the world community.
