Nicholas A. Peppas spends much of his time researching Drug delivery, Nanotechnology, Self-healing hydrogels, Polymer and Nanoparticle. His work deals with themes such as Pharmacology, Controlled release and Monomer, which intersect with Drug delivery. In his study, Biomaterial is inextricably linked to Tissue engineering, which falls within the broad field of Nanotechnology.

His studies deal with areas such as Isoelectric point, Biocompatibility, Ethylene glycol, Biophysics and Swelling as well as Self-healing hydrogels. His Swelling study is focused on Chemical engineering in general. He works mostly in the field of Polymer, limiting it down to concerns involving Polymer chemistry and, occasionally, Polymerization.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Polymers for Drug Delivery Systems (712 citations)
  • 25th Anniversary Article: Rational Design and Applications of Hydrogels in Regenerative Medicine (689 citations)
  • Nanocomposite hydrogels for biomedical applications. (562 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Polymer
  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nanotechnology, Drug delivery, Self-healing hydrogels, Tissue engineering and Controlled release. The Nanotechnology study combines topics in areas such as Molecular recognition and Polymer. His work on Polymerization as part of general Polymer study is frequently linked to Molecularly imprinted polymer, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His study in the field of Drug carrier is also linked to topics like Biocompatible material and Mathematical model. The concepts of his Self-healing hydrogels study are interwoven with issues in Isoelectric point, Biocompatibility, Ethylene glycol and Biochemistry, Biosensor. His study in Chemical engineering extends to Polymer chemistry with its themes.
