Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, photopolymerization processes are particularly significant in the modern chemical industry, and the fundamental components that guarantee the efficient process are photoinitiators. Currently, the multitude of requirements for modern photoinitiators results in a growing demand for improved, more efficient, and user-friendly photoinitiators. In addition to single-component initiators, multicomponent initiating systems are playing an increasingly important market role. Furthermore, great attention is being paid to the toxicity of such initiators, which is why raw materials of natural origin are becoming more frequently chosen for the synthesis of photoinitiators. Numerous research methods and increasingly efficient computer calculations make it possible to precisely understand, investigate, and justify the nature and mechanism of initiation of photoinitiators.
In this issue, the latest developments in the field of synthesis, physicochemical properties of new photoinitiators, as well as modern trends of applications of such compounds are highlighted and discussed.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Review articles, full papers, and communications are very welcome.
Prof. Dr. hab. Joanna Ortyl

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. 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.
