Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Special Issue on “Advanced Biobased Polymers: From Composites Production to Drug Delivery and Oil Industry Applications”! As the demand for sustainable materials grows, biobased polymers—derived from renewable resources—are becoming a key alternative to petroleum-based plastics. This issue focuses on the diverse applications of biobased polymers in areas such as composite production, drug delivery, and oil industry operations.
We invite you to submit original research, reviews, and case studies on:
- Composites Production: Studies on using biobased polymers in composite materials, including their mechanical properties, biodegradability, and the incorporation of fibers and nanomaterials.
- Drug Delivery Systems: Research on biobased polymers in drug delivery, emphasizing controlled release, biocompatibility, and personalized medicine potential.
- Oil Industry Applications: Analysis of biobased polymers in oil recovery and drilling fluids, highlighting their environmental benefits and efficiency.
This issue promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, sharing innovative findings that drive sustainable material development across various industries.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
