Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, coordination polymers have proven to be a highly adaptable platform for the creation of two-dimensional (2D) materials that feature customizable architectures and diverse functionalities. This Special Issue seeks to showcase the latest developments in this field, particularly those concerning the synthesis, structural design, and functional assessment of 2D materials derived from coordination polymers. We welcome submissions that explore innovative ligand frameworks, propose novel approaches to crystal engineering, and offer insights into structure–property relationships. Studies addressing practical challenges—such as enhancing stability, improving scalability, and integrating these materials into functional devices—are also strongly encouraged.
Dr. Chen-I Yang

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.
