In recent years, nanomedicine has revealed enormous potential in the area of drug delivery. Various nanotechnology-based systems like polymeric nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, liposomes, etc. have provided new tools and brought revolutionary changes in various biomedical areas. Some of these developed products and delivery systems are already in market. Additionally, an emerging drug delivery approach holds the promise to use nano/micro materials, more recently in combination with contrast agents to achieve personalized therapy. However, some challenges like overcoming biological barriers and toxicity hazards still need to be resolved. Here, we invite investigators and researchers to contribute original research as well as review articles that will stimulate continuing global efforts to find the promising technology for drug delivery.

We are particularly interested in the articles synthesizing, processing, modification, fabrication, characterization of functional nano/micro materials as well as computational tools to design products for drug delivery applications. It particularly encourages a multidisciplinary research field including chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering sciences to investigate the potential approaches for the fabrication of promising drug delivery systems. Further, computational approaches improve the design of nanomedicine comprising of single or multiple materials with hierarchical architecture and unique properties. The main objective of the special issue is to provide fundamental and advanced techniques for finding novel ideas for fabricating improved drug delivery systems.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Emerging advanced nano/micro materials as promising platforms for drug delivery
• Chemical designing of degradable nano/micro materials
• Designing nanoparticles for overcoming biological barriers to drug delivery
• Biopolymer based micro and nanostructured materials for drug delivery
