Advanced Polymers in Pharmacy and Biomedicine: Innovations and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled "Advanced Polymers in Pharmacy and Biomedicine: Innovations and Future Perspectives", in the Polymers journal explores the latest advances in the development and application of polymer materials across various domains, such as pharmacy and medicine. It highlights recent developments regarding the role of polymers in enhancing drug delivery systems and supporting health-related novelties.

In developing new pharmaceutical formulations, polymers are essential to the design of advanced drug delivery systems, including controlled release, targeted therapy, and nanocarrier-based solutions. Their versatility in formulation allows for the effective management of bioavailability, solubility, and controlled dosing. Polymers also contribute significantly to the development of new therapeutic strategies, such as polymer–protein conjugates and vaccines.

For the medicine domain, polymers are indispensable in tissue engineering, wound healing, diagnostic devices, and regenerative medicine. This Special Issue covers polymer-based hydrogels, scaffolds, and implants designed to interact with biological systems for improving healing and regeneration.

In this Special Issue, theoretical and experimental contributions in the form of full-length original research articles, literature reviews, and short communications are welcome.

We welcome and look forward to your submissions.

Dr. Adina Magdalena Musuc
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
