Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanofibers are superior candidates than hydrogels for drug delivery systems due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and porosity. This feature of nanofibers can promote the mass transfer of released drugs and waste products, and make them an ideal scaffold for both drug delivery systems and tissue engineering. In recent years, the number of publications related to drug delivery systems using nanofibers has increased, suggesting the importance and impact of nanofibers in the drug delivery field. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality original research works and specialized review articles on a wide range of topics, in delivery systems for various applications including health science and tissue engineering using polymeric nanofibers.

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.
