Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrospinning technology is gaining more attention for the flexible and large-scale production of fibers made from polymers due to its ability to precisely control the diameter size, surface characteristics, and other functionalities of the fibers. Advancements in these fibers allow the production of advanced drug delivery systems, their use in tissue engineering, and sophisticated wound healing techniques; furthermore, they are also applied in filtration, energy storage devices, and smart textiles.
This Special Issue aims to collect all the modern approaches and research studies on the synthesis and modification of polymeric fibers, particularly focusing on their mechanical, thermal, and biological behavior. It will also cover the engineering and design aspects of the polymers. We hope to receive original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications on advanced materials, fiber-hybrid or composite systems, and new electrospinning methods, such as coaxial, melt, and reactive electrospinning. We would especially appreciate the contributions outlining in vitro and in vivo outcomes, scaled-up development, and the incorporation of the products into biomedical or industrial devices. Submissions should focus on polymer-based electrospun systems from a scientific and engineering perspective.

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.
