Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers based on renewable and/or biodegradable resources are garnering growing interest in both industry and society in general. A lack of resources and increasing environmental awareness have prompted the production of products from raw materials based on renewable sources. Traditionally, polymers have been utilized as synthetic emulsion stabilizers, providing texture and enhancing the stability of emulsions due to their ability to increase the viscosity of the continuous phase or their ability to promote the formation of a gel network in the aqueous medium. Biopolymers currently represent a natural alternative to these synthetic components, apart from providing functional properties in many cases, and possess applicative potential in fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, etc. Moreover, many biopolymers have been found to possess surface activity, which is significant regarding their contribution to emulsification.
It is with great pleasure that we hereby invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue, entitled ”Recent Advances in Biopolymers for Emulsion Applications“, in Polymers. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight the current state of the art and future perspectives in the field of biopolymers for the development of emulsions. We encourage researchers to disseminate their novel results concerning this topic.

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.
