Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based nanoparticles (NPs) including stimuli-responsive polymers nanoparticles, semiconducting polymers dots, liposomes, metal-based NPs, silica NPs, carbon dots, and hybrid organic–inorganic NPs. Among all of these, polymer-based NPs are receiving more attention for use in biochemical applications, such as biosensing, biomedical, bio-separation, bio-imaging and food packaging, etc.
Despite the progress and results obtained by many researchers, the overall performance of polymer-based nanoparticles is still insufficient for some emerging applications, which require the combination of various properties. Thus, NCPs are still an exciting field of research.
Considering the significance of this area, the goal of this Special Issue is to present a selection of research papers and reviews collecting the latest results in the field of polymer-based NPs. Both synthetic and natural polymer-based NPs are considered. All topics about biosensing, biomedical, bio-separation, bio-imaging, and other challenging topics are welcomed in this Special Issue.

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. Molecules 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.
