Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrospun polymeric fibers have gained significant attention due to their versatility, tunable properties, and wide-ranging applications. This Special Issue explores recent advancements in electrospinning techniques, novel polymer-based materials, and the structural optimization of fibers with enhanced functionalities. Key applications including, but not limited to, biomedical engineering, packaging, environmental remediation, and smart textiles are welcome to be submitted, along with emerging trends in multi-material and nanostructured fibers and yarns. By bringing together cutting-edge research, this Special Issue aims to foster progress in the field of polymer-based electrospun fibers and inspire novel and green uses in advanced engineering 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.
