Advanced Materials and Polymers for Industrial and Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original scientific papers describing research on the microstructure, mechanical analysis, corrosion resistance, in vitro and in vivo studies, coatings, and material processes of all kinds of modern engineering materials. New types of materials help us to develop new solutions, find innovative syntheses and technological solutions, and understand function-to-properties relationships, all of which may be reflected in your scientific contributions to this Special Issue. A special array of Advanced Materials and Polymers for Industrial and Biomedical Applications with specific properties has been developed in recent years across a wide range of commercial, biomedical, and industrial applications. The design and synthesis of these types of materials require a thorough understanding of fundamental phenomena in condensed matter, materials physics, and engineering mechanics.

The forthcoming Special Issue of Polymers aims to publish new advances in the attractive field of research of advanced materials and polymers for industrial and biomedical applications.

To supplement the achievements of recent years in this field, the current Special Issue proposes to cover all aspects connected with the synthesis, design for additive manufacturing, and characterization of materials and polymers for industrial and biomedical applications.

The Special Issue will thus publish articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• polymers used in biomedical applications;
• surface and interface engineering to improve material performance;
• biocompatible and biodegradable materials;
• microstructure characterization;
• surface interface characterization;
• mechanical properties;
• corrosion resistance and electrochemical analysis;
• in vivo and in vitro studies;
• thermal analysis and heat treatments;
• the relationship between structure, properties, and materials applications;
• biomass usage in industrial applications;
• design for additive manufacturing;
• modeling and simulation for additive manufacturing;
• additive manufacturing of advanced materials: metals, ceramics, and polymers;
• additive manufacturing process capability, characterization, and quality control.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. We welcome full original research papers, communications, and review articles for submission before 31 January 2023.

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.
