Progress in Polymer Processing and Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This collection from the open-access journal Polymers aims to collect reviews on the topic of Polymer Processing and Engineering. All kinds of activity performed on polymeric materials ( not only the shaping but also the synthesis, transformation, compounding, functionalization, and stabilization of materials) are included within the scope.

The topics of this collection will include, but are not limited to these hot topics:

• New process development;
• Additive manufacturing and 3D printing;
• Fiber spinning and electrospinning;
• Green Polymers;
• Process control;
• Polymer rheology and mechanical properties;
• Modified polymer materials;
• Polymer design;
• New materials, additives, and fillers;
• Surface treatments;
• Coating and thin films;
• Injection, compression, transfer, and rotational molding;
• Blow molding and thermoforming;
• Simulation and optimization of processes;
• Products testing and analysis.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
