Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polyurethane has a wide range of applications in various fields of polymers. Polyurethane is used in rigid foam insulation materials, soft foam cushioning materials, elastomer parts, microcellular elastomer shoe materials, high elastic fibers, fabric and leather coatings, paint coatings, adhesives, sealants and potting compounds, waterproof and Protective coatings, imitation wood materials, treatment agents and other products are used in various fields. The very unique thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of polyurethanes can be engineered through the reaction of various polyisocyanates and polyols, which are formed from cross-linked polyurethanes.
Therefore, in-depth research on polyurethane materials is of great significance. Original contributions and comprehensive reviews are welcome.
With a focus on polyurethanes, potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Polyurethane foam;
- Polyurethane Elastomer;
- Polyurethane coating;
- Synthesis of polyurethane polymer materials;
- Analysis of polyurethane polymer materials;
- Theory and simulation of polyurethane polymer materials;
- Additive manufacturing of polyurethane polymer materials;
- Processing and properties of polyurethane polymer materials;
- Functional polyurethane polymer material.

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.
