Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer composites are a special class of reinforced systems that have been known about for almost 60 years. In this issue, we would like to highlight two special areas of polymer composites. In the biomedical area, polymeric gels, block copolymers, conjugates and drug–polymer assemblies have been attracting attention for many decades. Due to the non-cytotoxic nature of polymers, the medical area has also been widely occupied by biopolymers. We also highlight both the synthetic as well natural polymers for these purposes.
In water remediation, polymer composites are also drawing attention as adsorbents, hydrogels and membranes. Our aim is to accumulate some cutting-edge research papers from various domains in the world and publish about the benefits for the scientific community.

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.
