Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to innovative strategies for precise, targeted and controlled drug release and delivery, focusing on the progress in drug delivery associated with the use of nano- and microscale dispersed systems.
In this area, dispersed systems play a pivotal role, mainly due to their ability to finely modulate the release of active substances. This is attributed to their capacity to precisely control the release kinetics, making dispersed systems such as micro-/nanoemulsions, multiple emulsions, liposomes and nanosuspensions essential tools for enhancing the effectiveness of drug delivery.
Moreover, dispersed system-based advanced formulations enable the development of pharmaceutical forms that improve the bioavailability of active substances and minimize potential side effects. Consequently, dispersed systems in controlled-release formulations emerge as central contributors to progress in drug delivery, positively impacting therapeutic efficacy and patient comfort.

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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
