Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the design, development, and application of polymeric nanomaterials and biosensors for both biomedical and environmental purposes. With the increasing need for efficient, low-cost, and sensitive diagnostic platforms, polymeric-based systems have emerged as powerful tools for drug delivery, disease diagnosis, and pollutant detection. This Special Issue invites original research and comprehensive reviews focusing on nanostructured polymers, hybrid materials, functional hydrogels, and lab-on-a-chip technologies. Emphasis will be given to interdisciplinary approaches that bridge nanoscience, biotechnology, and materials science, especially those demonstrating practical applications in health and environmental remediation.

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.
