Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The importance of polymeric materials/composites has been recently recognized in biomedical fields such as cancer therapy, antimicrobial agents, and drug delivery, and new natural and synthetic-based polymers have been widely developed and used for biomedical applications.
This Special Issue aims to present a collection of original research papers and reviews on polymeric materials/composites for biomedical applications.
Topics of interest include:
- Biocompatible polymeric composites;
- Polymeric composites with antimicrobial activity;
- Functionalized/multi-functionalized polymeric composites;
- Therapeutic polymeric composites;
- Smart polymeric composites;
- Polymeric carriers for drug delivery.

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.
