Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technological and scientific advances are gaining relevance in the emerging countries of Latin America. In Mexico, basic and frontier research regarding polymers is solid and follows world trends in the development of new materials that respond to the needs of today’s society. As you know, Mexican researchers immersed in polymer science have contributed significantly to this interdisciplinary area at national and international levels, as demonstrated in various journals. Currently, scientific research in Mexico is diverse and comprises different corners of knowledge; thus, applications of polymer materials, such as medicine, environment, food industry, construction industry, agriculture, packaging, textiles, energy storage, high tech devices, bioelectronics, cosmetics, and sensors, are expanding. Therefore, finding better polymeric materials is a task with broad objectives and brighter horizons.
This Special Issue is intended to integrate the efforts of Mexican colleagues in developing Polymer Science and Technology. We welcome original papers and review articles; the scope of this collection includes, but is not limited to:
- Obtention (extraction methods; synthesis by conventional and irradiation strategies)
- Characterization
- Kinetic Studies
- Processing
- Degradation and recycling
- Modeling and simulation
- Performance
- Polymers as adjuvants in different topics
- Hybrid materials (organic and inorganic components)

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.
