Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrospinning is relatively inexpensive, environmentally friendly technique for the fabrication of nanofibers from a polymer solution, emulsion or melt, with high surface area-to-volume ratio and unique chemical and physical properties such as small pore sizes, highly open porosity and interconnected porous structure. By the addition of (bio)active substances, (nano)particles, functional dyes, etc. into the spinning polymeric matrix, the unique fibers’ functionalities can be obtained broaden their application to diverse fields, i.e. medical, health security, packaging, filtration, adsorption, sensing, etc. In these cases, the spinning procedure is more complicated, and thus, need to be properly studied in terms of process parameters regarding the final tailored properties.
This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent experimental and theoretical developments in the field of advanced nanofibrous textile materials with focus on their fabrication, structure, characterization, functional properties, and applications.

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.
