Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers, which serve as versatile matrices and frameworks, are pivotal in the realm of 3D-printed artificial tissues and bioelectronics. This Special Issue, “3D-Printed Polymers for Tissue Engineering or Bioelectronics”, is dedicated to cutting-edge research on polymer-based materials being developed in these forward-looking fields. We welcome studies that enhance tissue engineering through innovative polymer bioinks and advanced 3D printing techniques, addressing challenges such as biomimicry and vascularization. We also invite manuscripts on functional polymers that advance the sensing capability and biocompatible integration of bioelectronic devices. Contributions may address a range of topics, from the synthesis of novel polymers and refinement of 3D bioprinting techniques for complex tissue constructs to the application of functional polymers in biosensors and electronic skins. Here are some examples of relevant topics:
- Development of novel polymers, biomaterials, and bioinks for tissue engineering and bioelectronics applications;
- Innovation in 3D bioprinting and other biofabrication technologies;
- Organ-on-a-chip, drug screening, and disease modeling;
- Tissue engineering, organoids, and organ regeneration;
- Wearable and implantable bioelectronic devices including biosensors, wearable devices, electroceuticals, and electronic skins;
- Bioadhesives and wound healing.

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.
