Biodegradable Polymers to Biomedical and Packaging Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue concerning Biodegradable Polymers to Biomedical and Packaging Applications. Biodegradable polymers are now an important part of every sector (nanotechnology, chemistry, agriculture, etc.). However, their main application is related to biomedical science and packaging applications. In these two fields, scientists are particularly interested in biodegradable polymers because they are harmless to the environment.

In this Special Issue, modern trends in polymers synthesis, analysis, and physico-chemical studies are highlighted and discussed. This Issue is collecting novel studies related to biodegradable polymers dedicated to biomedical and packaging applications. It is important to consider different methods to improve the properties of polymer-based materials that would increase their applicability in industry. Thanks to the open access platform of this journal, we can count on a wider audience of readers of the fruits of our research effort. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• Biodegradable two and three dimensional materials preparation and characterization for biomedical and packaging application;
• 2D and 3D materials preparation from different raw compounds;
• Physicochemical properties of two and three dimensional materials made of polymers;
• Biological studies (in vitro and in vivo) of 2D and 3D scaffolds;
• Microbiological activity studies of two and three dimensional materials as scaffolds and packages.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full research papers, communications, as well as reviews are all warmly welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
