Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the excellent performance and high cost effectiveness, polyolefin has become the most widely used engineering plastic in the world and remains the synthetic resin type with the largest capacity growth, especially in China. The continuous development of olefin polymerization catalysts, polymerization processes, and processing techniques has provided us with a large number of new polyolefin materials, and emerging industries continue to put forward new needs and requirements for polyolefin materials, which constantly promotes the development of polyolefin materials. Although the monomer unit structure of polyolefin is simple, the complexity of the polyolefin structure and the wide range of properties due to the regularity, branching, end-group structure, distribution of monomer units on the molecular chain, molecular weight distribution, etc., require constantly innovative methods to understand the microstructure and the structure of the aggregation state. It is hoped that researchers from academia and industry will work together to continuously promote the development of polyolefins and create a better future.

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.
