Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conducting polymers, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, PEDOT, polyphenylenediamine, various copolymers and related substancesls are promising and widely studied materials with potential applications in electronics, energy storage, photonics, catalysis, biomedical applications, etc. They are often easy to prepare; affordable; available in variety of forms including coatings or nanoparticles; electroactive; conducting and colored. The understanding of the formation, function and stability of any material depends upon spectroscopic data. The information on molecular structure, interactions, conformations, mobility, etc. as results of spectroscopic analyses help elucidate macroscopic aspects of the materials.
The upcoming Special Issue of Applied Sciences will focus on characterization of conducting polymers and related materials with a variety of spectroscopic techniques, including but not limited to vibrational spectroscopy, NMR, EPR, UV—Vis and XRD.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
