Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, polymeric materials constitute a rapidly developing branch of the global economy, which is confirmed by the dynamic growth in their production. This is due to their numerous advantages, mainly their low specific weight, high mechanical strength, ability to be repeatedly processed and formed into products of different shapes, high chemical resistance, favorable electrical properties, resistance to corrosion, and high resistance of most of them to photo- and biodegradation. Notwithstanding the above, new technical and technological solutions and new kinds of polymer materials are constantly being sought. This is usually carried out at the stage of polymer synthesis or as a result of its chemical or physical modification.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the problems of synthesis and modification of various polymers (standard, engineering, high-performance, biodegradable, bio-based, conductive, etc.). Presentation of research results in the field of recent advances in polymer synthesis and modification as well as of important trends in this area is welcome. Reviews, full papers, and short communications focused on this area are invited.
Dr. Rafał Malinowski

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.
