Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based electronic materials have been widely studied and applied in flexible electronics, energy storage systems, and wearable sensing devices, owing to their versatile properties and feasible manufacturing processes. In recent years, the research community has expressed considerable interest in developing novel approaches to modify and functionalize polymer-based electronic materials, as well as engineering innovative structures and capabilities for associated devices.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Polymer-Based Electronic Materials” is dedicated to the most recent research regarding the design, preparation, and performance of polymer-based electronic materials encompassing dielectric polymer, piezoelectric polymers, ferroelectric polymers, polymer electronic composites, and polymer-derived electronic films. Moreover, investigations on the fabrication techniques and practical application scenarios of flexible and high-performance polymer-based electronic devices will be included.

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-anonymized 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.
