Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue will showcase cutting-edge research and progress in polymer composites in biomedicine and drug delivery systems. So far, the development of polymers in drug delivery systems has made great progress. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement. In order to achieve efficient drug delivery, it is necessary to research and develop new polymer materials with high performance. This special issue will focus on new synthesis methods, innovative characterization techniques and practical applications of these composites in drug delivery systems, including natural polymers, synthetic polymers, biodegradable and bioabsorbable polymers, biocompatible, biomimetic polymers and bio-related polymers. This special issue will comprehensively outline the practical applications of multifunctional polymer composites in drug delivery systems and discuss future development directions. Colleagues are welcome to submit relevant original research articles and review articles.

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.
