Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer materials play a vital role in numerous modern applications, ranging from industrial engineering, to healthcare and electronics. However, to reliably utilize these materials, it is crucial to understand their structural and dynamic properties, particularly in the context of composite materials. The behavior and performance of polymer materials in various applications are heavily influenced by their structural and dynamic properties, which, in turn, are affected by factors such as their molecular weight, cross-linking, and morphology. By examining these properties, researchers and professionals can develop novel polymer-based composites with enhanced characteristics, such as increased strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility.
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile the latest research on the structural and dynamic properties of polymer materials, with a particular emphasis on composite materials and their biomedical applications. For example, researchers might investigate how composite materials incorporating polymers with different molecular structures and surface properties influence cell behavior and tissue growth for regenerative medicine applications. Moreover, the study of polymer composites can provide useful insights into fundamental material science, as well as identify innovative applications for these materials. Through high-quality contributions from experts in the field, this Special Issue seeks to advance the field of polymer materials, thus expanding our understanding of the properties, challenges, and opportunities presented by these versatile 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.
