Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the flexibility in their structures, properties, and functions, polymers with good biocompatibility have been widely used for biomaterial fabrication. These engineered polymer materials with well-defined inner morphologies and external shapes have become practical platforms for a large range of biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, therapeutic agents, bioimaging, tissue engineering, etc.
This Special Issue, titled “Polymers Materials Used in Biomedical Engineering”, will cover the recent development of engineered polymer-based materials for biomedical applications. In addition, other fundamental topics, such as the theoretical study of the biological interaction of polymers or polymeric materials, can also be covered in this Special Issue. Research articles and reviews in these fields are welcome.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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 2700 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.
