Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of polymer materials in the field of biomimetics is driving a wave of innovation in the scientific community. The development of these materials is deeply inspired by the structures and functions of biological entities found in nature. Self-healing materials, superhydrophobic surfaces, color-changing effects, and intelligent response characteristics are all products of mimicking the wondrous designs of the natural world, bringing new application possibilities to various industries. In the field of medicine, the application of polymer materials has already demonstrated their unique value. Polymer materials that mimic human tissue characteristics are being used in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems, offering more natural and effective treatment options. This is just one example among many fields, illustrating the broad application prospects of polymer materials. Therefore, we cordially invite experts and scholars with innovative technologies or unique insights in the fields of polymer materials and biomimetics to join our Special Issue, “The Application of Polymers in Biomimetics”, to share their research findings and perspectives. We eagerly await valuable submissions from your research team, such that we can jointly embark on a new chapter in the field of polymers in biomimetics.

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.
