Applications of Polymer Materials: Adsorption, Catalysis, and Degradation

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, polymer materials are one of the most widely used materials, ranging from everyday articles to high-tech, smart or intelligent polymers. Due to the special properties of polymers, many modern branches in fields such as medicine, pharmacy, electronics, optics, automotive, chemistry, etc., cannot work and develop effectively without using the specific and design properties of polymers. It is common practice to combine the features of various materials, as is the case with blends, composites or polymer hybrid materials, so that new products can meet increasingly sophisticated needs.

Nowadays, a number of new challenges exist for scientists. Biocompatibility, biodegradability and environmental friendliness have become particularly desirable features of polymeric materials. For this reason, the synthesis and applications of green and sustainable polymers are in the spotlight. This is also the case for biopolymers.

We invite you to submit a manuscript(s) for this Special Issue entitled Applications of Polymer Materials: Adsorption, Catalysis, and Degradation. We are also open to any interesting ideas regarding the utilization of new polymeric materials. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Dr. Magdalena Sobiesiak

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
