Development and Characterization of Next-Generation Biomaterials from Basic to Bench Research
This special issue belongs to the section "Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials are used for medical devices, cell culture (including stem cells and primary tissue cells), and drug production. For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of manuscripts related to biomaterial investigation at all stages, from basic research to bench research. Biomaterials of special interest include biomaterials for biosensor and diagnosis, biomaterials used in vaccine production (especially biomaterials used for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines), scaffolds for tissue engineering, cell culture biomaterials for stem cell or tissue cell culture and differentiation, and biomaterials for virus removal filters and blood purification in the current and next generations. However, we welcome any manuscripts related to biomaterials that will be used as “next-generation biomaterials”.

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-anonymized 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.
