Functional Polymeric Materials: From Synthesis to Applications: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Special Issue of IJMS, focusing on the molecular science of functional polymeric materials on topics from synthesis techniques to applications. We invite leading experts in the field to contribute high-quality papers to this collection, which aims to highlight new developments in the molecular science of functional polymeric materials. This Issue will encompass research on the synthesis or modification of these polymers, as well as the analysis of their chemical, optical, electrical, biological, and biomedical properties. Furthermore, we seek to explore their applications as smart materials, sensors, membranes, and coatings, in energy storage, and in other areas.

Given the growing interest in this area within the scientific community, we encourage the submission of various types of manuscripts, including original articles, reviews, and short communications. All articles should be focusing on the latest research into functional polymers from a molecular perspective.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
