Resin-Based Polymers and Composite Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer molecules consist of repetition of a single unit; we can further characterize the types of polymers by observing this repeating unit. The properties of the resin can be tuned by adding “reinforcements” into the polymer resin to form composites. This Special Issue on “Resin-Based Polymer Materials” invites articles that explain the synthesis and fabrication of polymer materials for different applications, using various preparation techniques. This Special Issue focuses on the synthesis, characterization, material modification, preparation method, addition of other materials to enhance performance, simulation and derivation of performance, optimization, life cycle assessment, environmental friendliness, etc. The aim of this Special Issue is to build a community of authors and readers to discuss the latest research, and develop novel ideas and research directions.

In light of this, we are organizing a Special Issue focused on high-quality original research works or comprehensive reviews on cutting-edge developments in the field of resin-based polymer materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Resin composites;
• Resin blending;
• Enhance performance of resin;
• Resin performance optimization;
• Resins with wood composite application;
• Calculation and simulation of resin chemistry;
• Life cycle assessment of resin;
• Carbon reduction.

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.
