Advances in Polymer Processing Technologies: In Honor of Prof. Dr. Geoffrey Robert Mitchell’s 75th Birthday

Dear Colleagues,

This is a Special Issue in honour of Professor Geoffrey R. Mitchell’s 75^th Birthday and a celebration of his research and achievements. Professor Mitchell’s research spans a wide range of polymer science and technology over the last 40 years at the University of Cambridge, University of Hokkaido, University of Reading, Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development, Polytechnic University of Leiria and the University of Karnatak. The development of diffraction methods for the understanding of polymeric structures, the continuous improvement of neutron scattering techniques for amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers, his pioneering work on the understanding of the structure–property relations of liquid crystalline and electrically conducting polymers and his important developments of additive manufacturing and 3D printing are some of the highlights of his long and highly successful career.

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.
