Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research in the field of ionic conductive polymers continues to advance, leading to the development of novel materials with enhanced properties and a broader range of applications. Ionic conductive polymers, often referred to as ion-conductive polymers, are a class of materials that exhibit the ability to transport ions and are typically categorized based on the types of ions they can conduct and the functional groups incorporated into their structure, like anion/cation-conductive polymers, proton-conductive polymers, polymeric ionic liquids (PILs), polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based polymers, polyelectrolytes, etc. These materials play a crucial role in the ongoing development of more efficient and sustainable technologies in various industries, including energy storage, flexible electronics, smart materials, bioelectronics, electrochemical sensors, fuel cells, and water purification, among others.
For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to share their innovative results in the area of ionic conductive polymers for the development of next-generation materials.

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.
