Polymers | Call for Special Issue Proposals for New Section “Polymer Colloid and Interface”


We are currently inviting Special Issue proposals for the new Section "Polymer Colloid and Interface". If you are an active researcher in the relevant field and are passionate about cutting-edge research, please do not hesitate to contact the Section Managing Editor Ms. Zoe Ou (zoe.ou@mdpi.com). 

The Section “Polymer Colloid and Interface” of Polymers (ISSN: 2073-4360) aims to rapidly publish contributions on the aspects of polymer science in colloid, surface, and interface, as well as their applications in various fields. It is obvious that today's modern society cannot be conceived without polymers, materials that surround us in different forms and that are even part of the constitution of the human body. The practical applications of colloidal polymer systems, of polymeric films, and of polymer composites and biocomposites have experienced a great expansion in recent decades, but it is still necessary to elucidate some theoretical aspects in order to obtain more and more efficient materials. The use of polymeric particles as carriers of biologically active principles, and especially the modification of their surface to achieve an active targeting of the diseases to be treated, is another important challenge for researchers. The creation of a strong interface between the polymer matrix and the filling or reinforcing material in order to obtain composites with good mechanical properties and, in general, superior physicochemical characteristics, as well as the development of increasingly efficient techniques for its characterization, still concerns many groups of researchers. That is why this newly established Section of Polymers aims to incite and encourage specialists to publish original articles and reviews that reflect new trends and achievements in the field. Our intention is to develop a platform not only for dissemination but also for debating the new results that are in this field, which is incredibly interesting and has a very large application potential. 

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office (polymers@mdpi.com). 

We look forward to receiving your proposals.
