Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, polymers and polymer-based supramolecular materials have garnered extensive research and applications in the fields of imaging and detection. The multifunctionality and designability of polymer molecules offer limitless possibilities for the versatile integration of signal reporting, selectivity, and activation methods, providing an ideal material platform for the rational design of various imaging and detection strategies. We believe that developing novel functional polymer molecules for imaging and detection, or designing unique imaging and detection strategies based on the unique advantages of polymers, can result in impactful and innovative research.
Therefore, in this Special Issue, we are dedicated to compiling recent relevant works to provide researchers in this field with cutting-edge innovative ideas and research directions.

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.
