Polymers for Drug Delivery and Wound Healing

Dear Colleagues,

Tremendous progress has been made in the development of polymeric materials for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications in recent years. These materials include natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers. These developments have greatly enhanced our understanding of the properties of these materials, which in turn has enabled us to exploit and modify them to suit the prevention and treatment of specific medical conditions. Many of these materials incorporate desirable properties for drug delivery and wound healing, such as versatility, bioresponsiveness, tunability, biocompatibility, manufacturability and sustainability. This special issue aims to celebrate these advances and encourage knowledge sharing to spur further progress in this area. In this special issue, we invite original research articles and comprehensive reviews on the applications of polymers in drug delivery and wound healing.

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.
