Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) polymer materials are a type of hybrid porous material characterized by a highly ordered crystal structure and permanent porosity, formed through the self-assembly of inorganic metal ions or metal clusters with organic bridging ligands via strong coordination bonds. It is essentially the precise hybridization of inorganic nodes and organic linkers at the molecular level, combining the rigidity and stability of inorganic materials with the diversity and functionality of organic materials. Its core advantage lies in its adjustable structure and highly integrated functions, providing a revolutionary material platform for gas storage and separation, efficient catalysis, advanced sensing, intelligent drug delivery, energy storage conversion, and environmental governance, demonstrating extremely broad application prospects. The purpose of this Special Issue is to introduce the latest developments in this research field, including various MOF derivatives, such as MOF-derived metal oxides, porous carbons, composite materials/hybrids, and sulfides. This Special Issue will also focus on the advanced applications of MOF polymer composites.

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.
