Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon dioxide (CO2)-based biodegradable polymers are gaining attentions since they can alleviate both the global warming effect and white plastic pollution. Recent advances in catalysts for CO2 copolymerization will aid the development of biodegradable or biobased polymeric materials from CO2. We are seeking original research and review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to design and develop nanoscale catalytic synthesis of CO2 copolymers. This Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of subjects, including all kinds of polymeric materials from carbon dioxide including CO2-based polycarbonate, polyester, polyurea, polyurethane, etc. and all kinds of catalyst for CO2 copolymerization including metal complex catalyst and metal-free catalyst, as well as CO2-based polymers applied in different scene including packaging materials, foam materials, barrier materials, electrolytes or binders for lithium-ion batteries, etc.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
