Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biopolymers possess the advantages of biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them attractive for various applications, such as bioplastics, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, biomaterials and so on. Additionally, understanding the structure and function of biopolymers is fundamental to disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. Their versatile nature and importance in living organisms have led to ongoing research and innovation in the field of biopolymers. Therefore, the development of supramolecular architectures based on biopolymers is of paramount importance in various scientific disciplines and has wide-ranging implications for both fundamental research and practical applications. Moreover, the field of supramolecular architectures based on biopolymers not only contributes to the understanding of fundamental biological processes but also has far-reaching implications in fields such as medicine, materials science, and environmental sustainability. It offers a wealth of opportunities for scientific advancement and the development of novel technologies and solutions to some of society's most pressing challenges.
In this context, the objective of the current Special Issue, entitled "Supramolecular Structures Derived from Biopolymers", is to present the most recent advancements in the realm of supramolecular structures involving biopolymers. This Issue aims to present cutting-edge research on the synthesis, characterization, and potential applications of biopolymer-based supramolecular architectures.

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.
