Rheology and Processing of Polymers

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to submit a manuscript for a Special Issue of Polymers (impact factor of 3.164 and ranking 17/87 (Q1) in polymer science, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers)) entitled "Rheology and Processing of Polymers”.

This Special Issue will cover the latest developments in the field of rheology and polymer processing, highlight cutting-edge research focusing on the processing of advanced polymers and their composites. It will demonstrate that the field of “Rheology and Polymer Processing” is still gaining increased attention. This Special Issue promises to maintain a good balance of papers to serve the attendees from academia and industry. It will provide cutting-edge research results and the latest developments in the field of polymer science and engineering, their innovative processing, biopolymers, and characterization, polymer-based products, polymer physics, composites, modeling and simulations, and rheology. Ideally, contributions should focus on fundamental and experimental results in a thematic range that comprises conventional processing technologies as well as innovative processing and materials-based macromolecular research. The issue will compile the current state-of-the-art and highlight the range of applications. Both original contributions and reviews are welcome.
