Green Chemistry and Nanomaterials: Applications in Drug Delivery and Biomedical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, medicine has faced a revolution due to the introduction of novel, advanced, and smart biomaterials for different applications: from controlled and targeted drug delivery to regenerative tissue engineering to theranostics. For this reason, both the scientific community and industry are working on this challenging research topic, with special focus on the types of processes involved.

For this Special Issue, we kindly invite authors to contribute their original research articles and review papers describing novel, green approaches applied to the design of biomaterials, ranging from the nano- to the macro-scale.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Green processes for biomaterials production;
• Supercritical CO₂;
• Freeze-drying;
• Nanoparticles;
• Nanosomes;
• Nanomedicine;
• Aerogels;
• Modeling of drug release from nanocarriers;
• Machine learning applied to the biomedical 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
