Feature Papers in Polymer Applications II

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Polymers aims to collect original research papers and reviews on the topic of polymer applications. All kinds of polymers, either conventional engineering polymers or newly developed ones, from thermosetting and thermoplastic to vitrimer, will be considered. Any applications, from traditional to advanced, will be covered. Submissions may address the following or related topics:

  • Biomedical applications of polymeric materials;
  • Polymer materials for drug delivery systems;
  • Polymer materials for wound dressing applications;
  • Polymer materials for tissue engineering;
  • Environmental applications of polymeric materials and sustainable science and technology;
  • Polymer applications in food science;
  • Industrial applications of polymeric materials;
  • Adsorption applications of polymeric materials;
  • Polymeric-material-based flexible and stretchable electronics;
  • Functional polymers and their composites for sensors and actuators;
  • Polymer-based LEDs;
  • Polymeric membranes;
  • Eco-friendly polymeric materials;
  • Antibacterial activity of polymeric materials;
  • Functional polymeric textiles;
  • Polymeric self-healing materials;
  • Functional polymeric surfaces;
  • Applications of polymeric materials and their composites in energy generation and storage;
  • 3D/4D printing of polymeric materials and their composites.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
