Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the most recent developments in the field of biodegradable microparticles intended for biomedical, agricultural, and environmental applications. Biodegradable materials are of special interest since they do not pose any issues regarding their excretion from the biological milieu or removal from the environment.
The upcoming Special Issue of Applied Sciences, entitled “Advances in Biodegradable Micro- and
Nanoparticles”, is devised as a collection of articles reporting both concise reviews of recently obtained results and new findings produced in this broad research area.
The major topics include but are not limited to the current state-of-the-art on real or potential microparticle biomedical, agricultural or environmental applications. Related fields, such as material science, polymer chemistry, and/or innovative techniques to design, prepare, and characterize microparticles are also warmly welcome.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
