Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the transformative potential of microfluidics in drug delivery systems, emphasizing the development of liposomes and emulsions as versatile platforms. Microfluidics offers unparalleled control over designing innovative drug delivery systems while enabling precise size and compositional control. By integrating advanced materials and scalable fabrication techniques, microfluidics is paving the way for personalized medicine and the next generation of targeted therapies.
This Special Issue seeks contributions that delve into microfluidic technologies, spanning from design to production while tackling the challenges of developing robust formulations. Research focused on the application-specific design of liposomes and emulsion-based micro- and nano-carriers, presenting innovations in drug delivery, is particularly welcome. Submissions highlighting engineering advancements in simulation-driven optimization and device designs for scalable, high-throughput production are also encouraged.
Join us in showcasing the latest breakthroughs at the intersection of microfluidics, material science, and pharmaceutical innovations, paving the way for the next-generation of drug delivery solutions.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs).
