Polymeric Materials as Drug Delivery Vehicles and Tissue Engineering Matrix

Dear Colleagues,

Polymeric materials, being natural or synthetic, have been widely used in various modern biomedical fields, especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering. They can be used as the carriers to modify the mode or efficiency of the drug delivery or as the essential matrix to realize regenerative tissue engineering. This Special Issue titled “Polymeric Materials as Drug Delivery Vehicles and Tissue Engineering Matrix” will focus on the applications of polymeric materials used for tissue engineering or drug-delivery. Original papers, short communications, or reviews with the topics of development, characterization, and possible biological applications of polymer-based biomaterials, with applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering are welcome. We expected that by the accomplishment of this special issue, the academic and scientific communities and the readers of journal Polymers will gain cutting-edge knowledge and thoughtful insights into this field.

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.
