Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers have had a massive influence on biomedical research and medical practice, and will continue to play an important role as biomaterials in this century as well. Polymeric biomaterials have extensively applied beneficial influence in various biomedical and therapeutic applications, such as blood, soft and hard tissue-compatible polymers for artificial heart/vessel and dental applications, orthopedic applications, as well as the controlled sustained release of therapeutic agents in drug delivery.
This Special Issue, Advanced Polymeric Biomaterials, will collect recent innovative original research and review papers focusing on the scientific discussion and practical applications in the field of biomedical polymeric materials. The applications encompass drug/DNA delivery systems, biodegradable polymers, soft/hard tissue-compatible polymers (e.g., polymers for dental and orthopedic applications), 3D-printable biomaterials, bioconjugate polymers, tissue engineering, scaffold biomaterials, and so on.
Special emphasis will be placed on advanced synthetic methodologies, dynamic chemistry/assembly strategies, and modulated cell–material interactions of polymeric biomaterials. We hope to share new concepts of biomedical polymers, organic/inorganic hybrid biomaterials, and bioconjugated polymers. Research articles, reviews, and communications are welcomed.
Prof. Dr. Ildoo Chung
Guest Editor
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.
