Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Year by year, there is a constantly growing interest in obtaining various materials based on thermosetting resins. The increasingly new and more unusual trends in their applications in the different areas of human life, caused by improved mechanical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties or flammability, require continuous research in this field of polymer science. Resins are mainly used to obtain advanced engineering materials; composites and laminates for the automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, or military industries; as well as paints or coatings. Resin-based materials also find application in dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the progress and fundamental aspects of the synthesis, characterization, fabrication, and applications of materials from various synthetic resins, such as polyester, epoxy, and acrylic. I kindly invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Reviews, original full papers, and short communications about current and future trends in resin-based materials are all welcome.

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.
