Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supramolecular polymers represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving field in material science, known for their self-assembly and adaptive properties, with vast potential for innovative applications, such as responsive and smart materials. The Special Issue "Supramolecular Polymers: Design, Characterization, and Applications" focuses on the cutting-edge advancements in the field of supramolecular polymer science and aims to curate a high-quality collection of articles, including both review and original research papers, that explore the latest developments in the design, characterization, and applications of supramolecular polymers. Manuscripts focusing on the following topics are highly welcome: (1) innovative strategies for the design and synthesis of supramolecular polymers; (2) advanced characterization techniques that disclose the complex architectures and interactions within these materials; (3) development of responsive and smart materials; (5) emerging uses in biological, environmental, and industrial applications. We invite you to contribute your research and join us in advancing this exciting field.
Prof. Dr. Chuandong Jia

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.
