Polymeric Nanoparticles for Pharmaceutical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, interest in using polymeric nanoparticles for drug delivery in pharmaceuticals has surged. These nanoparticles offer a versatile approach, comprising biocompatible and biodegradable polymers designed to encapsulate drugs. Upon administration, they enable controlled release and targeted delivery, overcoming barriers like poor solubility and enzymatic degradation. Their surface properties can be tailored for specific interactions with biological targets, minimizing off-target effects. Additionally, polymeric nanoparticles sustain drug release, improving patient compliance. By adjusting their characteristics, researchers enhance drug delivery efficiency.

This Special Issue will include research and reviews on polymeric nanoparticles' pharmaceutical applications and we invite researchers and drug developers to contribute original articles, thereby advancing drug delivery systems and therapeutics.

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). 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.
