Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid progress in polymer science has transformed the landscape of medical materials. Advances in macromolecular engineering enabled the rational design of drug and gene delivery systems, medical devices, biodegradable scaffolds, and biodegradable packaging for medical devices. Inspired by nature, these developments have led to the creation of advanced polymeric and composite structures for artificial tissues, biosensors, multifunctional materials, etc. Cutting-edge fabrication techniques such as bioprinting, bioplotting, and electrospinning are now pivotal in translating material design into functional medical constructs. This Special Issue, titled “From Polymers Design to Advanced Structures for Biomedical Applications”, focuses on recent innovations in both synthetic and natural polymer systems. It will provide a platform for rapidly communicating high-quality research and reviews on the synthesis, functionalization, and advanced manufacturing of polymeric materials for next-generation biomedical applications.

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.
