Polymers in Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Polymers are a class of biomaterials extensively exploited in biomedicine for a plethora of applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensing, and so on. Their high biocompatibility guarantees safe contact with living tissues and organs, while their chemical versatility allows fine tuning of their properties for tailored applications.

This Special Issue aims to collect the recent advances in the synthesis, modification, and characterization of biomedical polymers, to strengthen the impact of such materials in modern medicine. The purpose is to collect contributions, either in the form of research or review articles, in a multidisciplinary context, taking advantages from the expertise of chemists, biologists, material scientists, engineers, and clinicians, to highlight the obtained results and catch the interest of scientists working in the field acting as a platform for knowledge exchange.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
