Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, bioactive compounds have gained increasing attention due to their health benefits. However, these compounds generally exhibit poor solubility or are sensitive to the harsh environment of food processing and the gastrointestinal tract, thus lowering their bioavailability and compromising their envisioned benefits. Therefore, there is a need to develop suitable delivery systems to protect active agents from these severe conditions and to maintain their functions. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current and projected outcomes made on the application of bio-based polymeric materials in bioactive compound delivery systems. Researchers are invited to submit their up-to-date original research articles, review works, and short communications to this Special Issue: “Application of Bio-Based Polymeric Materials in Bioactive Compounds Delivery Systems”.

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.
