Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have been asked by the Editor of Polymers (MDPI) to coordinate a Special Issue entitled “Electrospinning of Nanofibres”.
This Special Issue is motived by the observed growing interests on the design, fabrication and application of electrospun nanofibres in many fields such as wound dressings, filtration applications, water treatment, energy production, fibrous photovoltaic technologies, bone tissue engineering, catalyst supports, non-woven fabrics, reinforced fibers, support for enzymes, drug delivery systems, electronic applications and disposable sensors, among others.
In general, this Special Issue is oriented to all types of electrospun nanofibres, innovations in materials, improvements in electrospinning technology and process control to allow consistent production of nanofiber mats, advanced multiple functionalities (physical, chemical, and biological functionalities) to make multipurpose fibre mats, superhydrophobic surfaces, smart materials and active devices, as well as new cross-disciplinary applications for electrospun materials.
Considering your prominent contribution in this interesting research field, I would like to cordially invite you to submit a paper to this special issue through the webpage of the journal (S.I. Electrospinning of nanofibres). The manuscript should be submitted online before 31 March, 2018. The submitted manuscripts will then be fast track reviewed. I would very much appreciate it if you could let me know of your interest in the paper contribution at your earliest convenience. Research articles, review articles, perspectives, as well as communications and letters are also invited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts are available on the journal’s website.

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.
