Chiral Polymers and Chiral Polymeric Particles
This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Analysis and Characterization“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the history of polymer science, both natural and synthetic chiral polymers have received considerable attention and a wide range of studies have been conducted on their synthesis, conformations, and applications. Chiral polymers and chiral polymeric particles currently support many industry applications. Free chiral polymers and micro or nanosized chiral polymeric particles have many applications in various fields, such as drug delivery systems, chiral catalysts, general chemistry, biotechnology, and materials science.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent progress in the synthesis and application of chiral polymers and chiral polymeric particles.
The submitted manuscripts will be fast-track reviewed and all types of publications are invited: research articles, review articles, communications, and letters.

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 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.
