Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric intelligent materials are a class of polymers that possess structural, optical, electrical and thermal responsive properties, among others, making them suitable for diverse applications. In recent years, polymeric intelligent materials have attracted significant attention and undergone extensive development. This Special Issue covers all aspects of polymeric intelligent materials, including, but not limited to, the fields of optoelectronics, energy, sensors, catalysis and biomedicine. Fundamental theoretical simulations of intelligent polymers and their structure–property investigations are also discussed in this Special Issue.
We believe that this topic is useful for the academic community, since the development of polymeric intelligent materials is believed to be significant for the advancement of human society. Thus, we kindly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue in the form of communications, full research papers and review articles, and we look forward to your submissions.

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.
