Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The high-energy-density polymer-based materials in this Special Issue refer to polymer composite materials that can store a large amount of energy per unit volume and that are widely used in energy storage, propulsion systems, blasting engineering, fuel cells, and other fields. With increasing attention paid to energy and national security, the synthesis, modification, molding, and application research of high-energy-density materials have been developed more widely and more rapidly. This Special Issue aims to reveal the inherent laws of atomic and molecular structures in the performance of high-energy-density materials, form a related theoretical system, reduce our reliance on empirical rules in the development of high-energy-density materials, and build a communication platform for the high-performance applications and safety and performance evaluations of high-energy-density materials. Scholars are welcome to submit relevant papers.

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.
