Emerging Trends in Polymer Engineering: Polymer Connect-2024

Dear Colleagues,

I am cordially inviting you to contribute to a Special Issue of Polymers marking the upcoming Polymer Connect-2024 conference. The Special Issue, titled "Emerging Trends in Polymer Engineering: Polymer Connect-2024", will capture cutting-edge advancements and innovative research presented at this conference in the field of polymer science.

Polymer Connect-2024 will attract a diverse audience of industry professionals and academic experts interested in exploring the latest technologies and developments in polymer science. Through oral presentations and posters, participants can engage with a wide array of themes, including, but not limited to, the following:

• The characterization of synthetic and natural polymers;
• Polymers in chemistry;
• Polymer hybrids and nanocomposites;
• Polymer biomaterials and tissue engineering;
• Polymers for human health;
• Biomedical and biodegradable polymers;
• Polymer recycling and re-use;
• Polymers in the environment;
• Functional polymers;
• Polymers in energy.

This conference is a unique platform for professionals from various sectors of the polymer and material science industry to collaborate, exchange ideas, and showcase their latest innovations. Attendees can network with peers, explore potential collaborations, and gain valuable insights into the latest trends and developments shaping the future of polymer science.

We believe that your expertise and contributions would greatly enrich the content of this Special Issue. Your research interests align closely with the themes and objectives of the conference, making your insights invaluable to our readership. We invite you to submit a manuscript for consideration, highlighting your research findings, insights, and innovations in the field of polymer science.

We look forward to your participation in and contribution to this exciting endeavour.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alberto García-Peñas
Guest Editor

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.
