Polymer Materials for Bioprinting and Tissue Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is concerned with the structure, properties, and applications of polymer materials, including bioresorbable and bioinert polymers and bioactive materials for use in tissue engineering applications. Topics may include structural features, microstructures, the relationship between structures and properties and biomedical characteristics, tailored–architected scaffolds, biomimetic structures, mechanical properties, bioprinting, and bioactivity. Articles in this Special Issue may also address bioactive materials such as hydrogels, biocomposites, smart polymers, shape memory polymers, bioimplants, tissue/cell engineering devices, tissue reconstruction, polymers for bioprinting, and cell–biomaterial interactions. Contributions should focus on fundamental results, mechanisms, and applications that will help to compile the current state of the art and to highlight their range of applications. Both original contributions and reviews are welcome.

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.
