Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interdisciplinary field of biomaterials and polymers science has been one of the most rapidly expanding interdisciplinary fields during the past three decades. Polymeric biomaterials and their chemical structures play key roles in biological systems by providing support, acting as tissue replacements, and facilitating therapy or drug delivery. Accordingly, several techniques for polymer processing have been developed to provide a three-dimensional template for tissue growth and regeneration. 3D printing and stimuli-responsive hydrogels may have an impact in the biomedical field. Meanwhile, biomimetic and intelligent polymeric systems have also been investigated regarding their potential in tissue engineering. Hence, cell–material interactions, the chemical structure of polymers, porous microstructures, and the design of biomaterials are tunable properties that will define the impact of these substances in the biomedical field.
We invite authors to submit original research articles as well as review articles to share developments in natural and synthetic polymers for tissue engineering purposes. Of particular interest for this Special Issue are stimuli-responsive hydrogels, biomimetic materials, and hydrogel-based bioinks for use in 3D printing.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rosane Michele Duarte Soares
Guest Editor
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.
