Polymer Based Biomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of studies of polymeric materials related to bottom-up nanotechnologies due to their great potential in the development of biomedical applications. The objective of this Special Issue is to deepen our knowledge on polymeric materials for biomedical applications from broad viewpoints. Its scope encompasses the design and synthesis of polymers, the development and characterization of polymeric materials, and the elucidation of processes involved in a variety of in vivo phenomena, such as blood circulation and biodistribution profiles. While the articles in this issue do not necessarily need to report novel polymeric materials, they should provide novel insights into biomedical applications.

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.
