Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Preparation and Applications of Bio-Based Polymer Coatings” aims to publish original research articles or comprehensive reviews on novel developments in the field of bio-polymeric coatings for different applications.
Bio-based polymers are becoming some of the most important materials in science and technology. In recent years, bio-based polymers have been extensively studied, because they are biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly materials. Within the century, they are expected to replace conventional oil-based polymers synthesized from fossil resources.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present valuable findings regarding bio-based polymer coatings. This research area covers diverse fields, including polymer chemistry, biotechnology, materials science, and materials physics.
Considering your prominent contribution to this state-of-the-art research topic, I would like to warmly invite you to submit an article to this Special Issue. Original research articles and review articles discussing the latest findings in the field of bio-based polymer materials and coatings are welcome.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in the development of bio-based polymer materials and coatings and their applications. In particular, the topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Bio-based polymer materials and coatings;
- Biodegradable materials and coatings;
- Non-toxic photopolymer materials and coatings;
- Biomedical applications of bio-based polymer materials and coatings;
- Bio-based food packaging coatings;
- Biodegradable coatings for food packaging;
- Biomedical coatings;
- Bio-based adhesives.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Emilia Mihaylova

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
