Special Issue Information
Among the medical devices and implants used in clinical treatment, the material and structure design of implants is very important for the research and development of medical devices. Biomechanical analysis is often used to optimize implant design for medical devices and implants. Therefore, in vivo/in vitro, biomechanical experiments, or computer-aided engineering are often used by medical device researchers to design implants or medical devices. In such cases, finite element analysis (FEA) plays an important role, usually through a process of implant design, modeling, and simulation to optimize implant design and materials. In addition, 3D printing also plays an important role in the design and application of medical devices and implants. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to develop more suitable structures and materials for the design of medical devices or implants through biomechanical analysis and evaluation. In addition, 3D printing technology can also be used in medical applications for good clinical applications.

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.
