Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the issues of environmental deterioration and resource shortage on the rise, topics such as environmental protection and sustainable development are becoming increasingly important. Currently, biodegradable polymers are a research hotspot and a promising alternative to traditional polymers, due to their environmentally friendly properties. With their development in recent years, biodegradable polymers have been widely used in many fields such as food, medicine, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, and other industries. However, their limitations of actual durability, degradability, and scalability restrict further development. Therefore, overcoming the durability–degradability trade-off, improving synthesis efficiency, and controlling degradability under specific conditions are the main goals of current biodegradable polymer research.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for scholars and researchers in the field to share and communicate the recent research progress and future direction of biodegradable polymers, including (but not limited to) the design mechanism, synthesis mechanism, manufacturing method, application scenarios, and discussions on solutions and development directions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Corrosion and Materials Degradation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
