Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric materials are becoming more adaptable and effective as science and technology advance. In recent years, polymer films and coatings have been extensively applied in various fields owing to their unique characteristics. Polymer films and coatings can be obtained via various methods (such as solution casting, extrusion and others), as per the target application. Fabricated coatings and films are characterized using a number of techniques with potential applications. Therefore, this Special Issue (SI) aims to collect original research, review and short communication articles relevant to this field. Manuscripts can be submitted as per the guidelines of the Polymers journal.

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.
