Antibiotic Engineered Polymeric Nanobiomaterials have been actively used for infection control in several clinical applications. This is particularly the case in wound dressing applications, where polymers play a key role in the control of the absorbent capacity, moisture permeability, and nonallergenic capacity of the wound dressing materials for the treatments of dry and moist wounds. This is required to stop bacteria transmission from infections and facilitate the fast recovery of the skin from chronic wounds. Overall, polymers can improve the structural (three-dimensional networks) and functional (adhesion, biodegradable, and mechanical) properties of the engineered materials. In addition, they can improve the stabilization and control delivery of antibiotic organic, inorganic, and extracellular materials. For these reasons, currently available engineered antibacterial nanobiomaterials were evolved from several polymers for wound healing purposes, such as gels, films, gauzes, foams, hydrogels, beads, nanoparticles, and other antibiotic materials.

This special issue aims to focus on the development of polymer-based nanobiomaterials, as well as to cover the new and advanced nano- and polymer technologies, the preparation and applications of antibiotic biomaterials, polymeric material development from biomass polymers (natural polysaccharides), and the characterization techniques for polymer nanobiomaterials that have been investigated specifically for advanced wound dressing applications in the clinical field. We welcome both original research and review articles on topics.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Antibacterial polymeric films and hydrogels
• Microbial resistant nanocomposites
• Scaffolds and tissue engineering
• Self-assembling materials
• Polymer stabilized nanoparticles
• Antibacterial textile fibres
