Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous organic polymers (POPs) have emerged as a class of multi-dimensional porous network materials. They are built via strong covalent linkages between various organic building blocks with different geometries and topologies, and have recently become a rising research field in porous materials. Owning to their light weight, superior inherent porosity, excellent stability, and pre-designable and tunable structures and functions, POPs are receiving increasing attention and research interest for their tremendous potential applications in gas storage/separation, heterogeneous catalysis, photoelectric conversion, chemical- and bio-sensing, energy storage and conversion, etc.
Recognizing the importance of fully understanding the various properties of porous organic polymers across scales and in a variety of fields, this Special Issue of Polymers invites contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following aspects of porous organic polymers, such as new design and synthesis routes, characterization, the study of advanced applications in diverse fields, and new or multi-strategies to develop high-performance porous polymers. The above list is only indicative and by no means exhaustive; any original theoretical or simulation works or review articles on the role of porous organic polymers are welcome. We hope that these contributions will address a variety of systems, including but not limited to porous polymer topology, semi-conductive conjugate porous polymers, crystalline porous polymeric networks, porous polymer single crystals, porous polymer nanocomposites, multicomponent porous polymeric systems, and porous polymers for photocatalysis/ electrocatalysis/organocatalysis or biological applications.

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.
