Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactivated polymers or polymers with biologically active moieties are prominently featured in nanomedicine, as the interplay with biology enables the targeted delivery and controlled release of therapeutics. Though well-established, bioactivated polymers continue to drive innovation in nanomedicine, as the available synthetic tools and our current understanding of complex biology keep expanding. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to highlight recent and new developments regarding their synthesis, physicochemical characteristics, structure–property relationships, and applications, in addition to perspectives on the further development of the field.

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.
