Drug Delivery Systems: Theory, Methods and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The study of thermodynamic and transport processes of drug delivery systems in solutions is important both for fundamental reasons, helping to understand the nature of aqueous drug and carrier structures, and for practical application in fields such as pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and medicine. However, despite the many reasons that justify the importance of these complex systems, our understanding of them has not yet been well-established. Therefore, in this Special Issue entitled “Drug Delivery Systems: Theory, Methods, and Applications”, we encourage researchers to present the most recent studies regarding various developments in the chemical, pharmaceutical and medicinal fields, with a strong focus on the drugs, carriers, bioavailability, and delivery systems, and, also, on characterization of these drug delivery systems, supplying parameters of transport and thermodynamic processes, permitting to model them for future practical applications. The manuscripts may include research articles and reviews in order to advance the chemical and pharmaceutical development.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
