Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, polymer-based catalysts have emerged as a transformative force in the field of catalysis. By ingeniously integrating the unique features of polymers with catalytic functionalities, they have revolutionized reaction dynamics. The modular architecture of these catalysts allows for the meticulous regulation of reaction pathways, thereby significantly enhancing reaction efficiency while minimizing environmental footprint.
With their versatile nature, polymer-based catalysts have found extensive utility across multiple domains. In organic synthesis, they enable a diverse array of chemical transformations with high selectivity. In the energy sector, they play a crucial role in key processes, facilitating the transition towards sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, in environmental remediation, these catalysts prove instrumental in purifying polluted environments, showcasing their remarkable potential in addressing pressing ecological challenges.

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.
