Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic polymerization processes play a pivotal role in synthesizing polymeric materials with tailored properties for various applications. Recent advancements in catalytic polymerizations have significantly broadened the scope of polymer design and production efficiency, driven by innovative approaches and emerging technologies.
The field of catalytic polymerization continues to evolve rapidly, driven by improvements in catalyst design, high-throughput experimentation, sustainability initiatives, and advanced characterization techniques. These developments underscore the essential role of catalysis in enabling the development of next-generation polymeric materials with enhanced performance and functionality.
We sincerely invite you to submit a manuscript(s) (full papers, communications, and reviews) for this upcoming Special Issue entitled "Recent Trends and Developments in Catalytic Polymerizations". We are also open to any interesting topics that focus on catalysts and polymerization.

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.
