Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conductive polymers (CPs) are promising organic semiconductors. CPs have tunable physical/chemical properties, mechanical flexibility, light weight, reversible doping, good biocompatibility, and scalable production. They play crucial roles in a huge number of research areas: supercapacitors, biosensors, photovoltaic cells, batteries, catalysts, chemical sensors, and so on. For these reasons, research on electronics, electrochemical, thermoelectric, biomedical, corrosion, and light-emitting diodes applications, as well as chemical oxidation and photopolymerization for obtaining conductive polymers from polypyrrole (PPy), poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDO), polyaniline (PANI), polyacetylene (PA), polyfuran (PFu), polyselenophene (PSe) and poly (p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) with novel properties and applications is of great interest.
This Special Issue is devoted to the most recent research on these topics, covering all aspects concerning the preparation and application of conductive polymers.

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.
