Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of photopolymerization in the development of advanced materials is proving to be a successful and worthy research direction across both industry and academia. Photopolymerization can be conducted using conventional systems (e.g., radical polymerization or step-growth polymerization) or using reversible deactivation radical polymerization; the former has been broadly used and widely studied, while the latter, though having experienced great success and having great potential, faces some challenges in its scaling and translation into industrial settings. This field is evolving at a very rapid pace, and there is plenty of scope for further advanced studies in a wide range of applications including but not limited to drug delivery, sensors, nanomedicine, and tissue engineering.

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.
