Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polyimide is widely used in motor and electric appliances, electronic devices, aerospace, new energy, and other fields due to its superior all-around performance, which includes high temperature resistance, high strength, high modulus, electrical insulation, radiation resistance, corrosion resistance, and resistance to heat and humidity. As a result of improvements in modern technology and industry, as well as the expanding application area of polyimide films, there has been an ever-increasing need for polyimide films. Currently, the use of polyimide films in electrical insulation, electronic devices, flexible displays, and 5G communication is growing toward greater differentiation, variety, and customization. It is vital to create polyimide films that are highly insulating, have a low expansion coefficient, are transparent, have a low/high dielectric constant, and exhibit high thermal conductivity. Over the last several decades, the world has made significant advances in polyimide research, but its technical capability remains relatively sluggish, and there is still a long way to go in high-tech areas such as high-speed variable frequency motors, flexible copper clad laminate, and new displays. Special emphasis will be placed on but not limited to the following:
- PI membranes low contractility;
- PI membranes with low dielectricity;
- Transparent PI membranes;
- BMI adhesive and composite materials;
- TPI engineering plastics;
- Polyimide enameled wire paint.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
