New Insights into Photopolymerization
This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The realm of polymer science and technology is witnessing an exciting evolution with rapid progressions in photopolymerization techniques. This innovative field is at the heart of new material development, offering transformative solutions across a spectrum of industries. The "New Insights into Photopolymerization" Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the latest breakthroughs and providing a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in this dynamic area.
Photopolymerization, with its ability to form complex structures and intricate designs through light-induced reactions, is a cornerstone for advanced material fabrication. This precise control over polymerization processes has been instrumental in the development of high-performance materials with tailored properties. The applications of these materials range from the microelectronics industry, where precision is paramount, to the biomedical field, where biocompatibility and responsiveness are key.
We invite you to contribute your latest research (research article/review) to this Special Issue. Let us together illuminate the path of discovery and advancement in the field of photopolymerization.
Dr. Ali Bagheri
Guest Editor
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.
