Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight the innovative integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and bioengineering in the development and processing of smart polymeric systems. The convergence of AI-driven methodologies with bioengineering is opening up new avenues for designing, characterizing, and manufacturing advanced polymer-based materials tailored for biomedical applications. We invite contributions that showcase how AI can enhance the design of polymeric biomaterials, optimize additive manufacturing processes, and predict the performance of biofunctional structures. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, AI-based modeling and simulation, smart polymer synthesis, data-driven approaches for property prediction, and the use of machine learning to improve the precision and reproducibility of biofabrication techniques.
We welcome the submission of papers that present both innovative theoretical approaches and practical implementations, showcasing the significant impact of AI-powered smart polymeric systems.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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. Polymers 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.
