Development and Application of Polymer Scaffolds, 2nd Volume

Dear Colleagues,

I am honored to accept the invitation of the Polymers Editorial Office to act as a Guest Editor for a new Special Issue, "Development and Application of Polymer Scaffolds, 2nd Volume".

Polymers and their composites have become the most widely used biomaterials in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility, adjustable physical, chemical, and biological properties, good processing performance, etc. Their uses include tissue engineering scaffolds, wound dressings, vascular stents, nerve guidance conduits, drug release carriers, etc. Their material forms include scaffolds, hydrogels, fibers, microspheres, etc. The preparation technology involved in their production includes traditional preparation process and additive manufacturing technology or their combination.

This Special Issue aims to highlight research progress on polymers and their composites, especially in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including but not limited to the following aspects: material and structure design, functionalization, preparation, characterization, performance evaluation, and biomedical application.

We sincerely invite you to submit your paper to this Special Issue and are looking forward to sharing your outstanding work with peers around the world.

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. 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.
