Biocompatible and biodegradable polymers have emerged during the past decades to promise extraordinary breakthroughs in a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices. Understanding and controlling the interfacial interactions of the polymeric biomaterials with biological elements are of essential towards their successful implementation in biomedical applications. Here, we highlight recent developments of biocompatible and biodegradable fusion polymeric biomaterials for medical devices and overview of the recent progress of the design of the multi-functional biomedical polymers by controlling biointerfacial water structure through precision polymer synthesis and supramolecular chemistry.
