State-of-the-Art Polymer Science and Technology in Greece: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The use of polymeric materials has contributed to the improvement of everyday life. Polymer production has shown an exponential increase over the last decades, reaching 400 million tons in 2018, and it is expected to exceed 1,200 million tons in 2050, with 750 million tons of plastics being recycled. Polymer science is a continuously growing field, and it is expected to play a key role in the bioeconomy and circular economy. In Greece, the field of polymer science and technology is served by numerous researchers from various groups, working on polymer synthesis, polymer characterization, polymer physics, polymer theory, polymer physical chemistry, polymer engineering/technology, and polymer composites/nanocomposites, as well as in the design/development of added-value functional polymeric materials for emerging applications in all technological fields. After the success of the first Special Issue, "State-of-the-Art Polymer Science and Technology in Greece", this second Special Issue aspires to collect high-quality papers by Greek Scientists, covering all the subfields of polymer science and technology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
