Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous development of science and technology, materials itself has become more and more "intelligent" and used to adapt to changes in complex environments. Environmentally responsive polymer materials, also known as sensitive polymer materials or stimulus-responsive polymer materials, are, through the molecular design and organic synthesis method, designed to have advanced functions provided by biology, in which external stimuli can quickly produce a response, causing a change in the structure, physical properties, and chemical properties. At the macromolecular level, the response behavior of the polymer chain segments can be achieved through a variety of changes, including its own hydrophilic and hydrophobic equilibrium, solubility, conformation, degradability, breaking of chemical bonds, and self-assembled structures with detection behavior.

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.
