Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have been asked by the Editor of Polymers (MDPI) to coordinate a Special Issue entitled “Resin Additives—Spices for Polymers”.
This Special Issue is based on the general development trend of polymer materials, which is increasingly high-performance, composite, refined, intelligent and green. Adding resin additives (such as antioxidants, antistatic agents, foaming agents, flame retardants, lubricating oils, impact modifiers, plasticizers, colorants, fillers, etc.) to the polymer to improve the performance of the resin is a very effective means to achieve the above goals.
This Special Issue focuses on the design, synthesis and application of all new resin additives (such as resin additives with the advantages of high efficiency, good compatibility, good durability, high chemical stability, green environmental protection, non-toxic, low price, etc.), polymer modification technology and process control improvement means to improve the polymer's own performance, processing performance, molding performance, stability, and realizing the multi-function of its products, improving its use value, prolonging life and giving other special effects.
Considering your prominent contribution in this interesting research field, I would like to cordially invite you to submit a paper to this Special Issue through the webpage of the journal (S.I. Resin Additives—Spices for Polymers). The submitted manuscripts will then be fast track reviewed. I would very much appreciate it if you could let me know of your interest in the paper contribution at your earliest convenience. Research articles, review articles, perspectives, as well as communications and letters are also invited.
The article requirements in the Special Issue are the same as those in the general issue.

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.
