Covalent Organic Polymers: Synthesis and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent times, covalent organic polymers (COPs) have emerged as a central subclass of highly porous and stable materials, which are reported as highly efficient materials in a wide range of applications. However, developing such functional polymer materials still faces great challenges in terms of large-scale production and the understanding of structure–property relationships. Therefore, there is great interest in the development of novel strategies for the design and synthesis of multi-functional COPs, which can expand their applications in various fields.

This Special Issue of Polymers will present the current state-of-the-art in the synthesis and applications of COPs. Full research papers, communications, and reviews 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 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.
