Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New functional materials have demonstrated substantial demand and widespread applicability in the domains of geological and geotechnical engineering, notably in the fields of geological exploration, engineering construction, ecological remediation, and environmental governance. Among them, green polymer materials have emerged as a pivotal focus of research and application, owing to their environmentally friendly properties and cost-effectiveness.
Nevertheless, the intricate and arduous conditions prevalent in geological engineering and geotechnical engineering, coupled with stringent safety standards, necessitate green polymer materials to possess heightened performance capabilities. Therefore, research and development pertaining to green polymer materials has emerged as a hot issue and prominent field within geological engineering and geotechnical engineering.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Development and application of green polymer materials in geological engineering;
- Development and application of green polymer materials in geotechnical engineering;
- Development and application of green polymer materials in disaster prevention and mitigation;
- Development and application of medium and green polymer materials in emergency treatment of engineering accidents;
- The action mechanism of green polymer materials in geological and ecological environment restoration;
- Principle and implementation of soil mass modified by green polymer materials;
- Development and application of synthetic structure of green polymer materials.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
