Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric composites are recognized as one of the commonly used material classes in the field of biomaterials owing to the ability to easily fine-tune and enhance their specific properties to fulfil the desired performance required for biomedical applications. Thanks to the easy process of fabricating polymeric materials, people are able to generate many novel types of composite materials for use in the rising field of biomedical application. Of course, the evaluation of their biocompatibility and safety is still the main focus of many researchers, in addition to their preparation.
This Special Issue aims to report on some of current developments in the design, synthesis and application of polymeric composite materials, including cancer treatment, as well as advances in bone or tooth graft materials, targeting drug delivery and/or demonstrating valuable findings in their most relevant applications. Both reviews and original research articles are welcome.

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.
