Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced polymers for biological applications represent foundational scaffold components in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and other medical fields. Tailoring the advanced properties offered by the polymer’s compositions, structures, and functionalities through biomanufacturing techniques to interface living matter has sparked remarkable interdisciplinary research interest. These techniques include, but are not limited to, 3D printing, electrospinning, microfluidics, injectables, patterning, and casting. Biomanufacturing techniques combine biomechanical modelling, engineering reformation, material functionalisation, and cell biology development to construct innovative results that could benefit clinical applications in the future.
Given the thriving nature of biopolymers in bioengineering applications, this Special Issue aims to showcase the state-of-the-art advances in polymer-related medical applications such as synthetic cell and tissue, coacervate, drug delivery, biomedical sensing and treatment, bio-inspired devices, biological interfaces, organoids, induced pluripotent stem cells, etc. We look forward to your submission of intriguing results that will enrich and inspire this interdisciplinary 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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
