Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural polymer Eucommia ulmoides rubber (EUR) from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (“Du Zhong” in Chinese) is mainly composed of trans-1,4-polyisoprene, which is the isomer of natural rubber from Hevea brasiliensis. EUR as a novel material is attracting more and more attention due to its unique and excellent duality of both rubber and plastic properties and many emerging EUR materials, such as functional composite films, shape memory biomaterials, root canal therapy filling biomaterials, anticorrosion coatings, damping and soundproof materials, autonomic self-healing elastic materials, green and sustainable tire materials, interfacial adhesion materials, etc., have been rapidly developed. Their excellent performances have led to applications in the fields of the environment, agriculture, engineering, and biomedical engineering.
Based on the above information, we would like to publish a Special Issue (SI) pertaining to recent studies on polymer EUR. This SI aims to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate recent studies on the fundamentals, science and technology of polymer EUR. High-quality original articles, review articles, case studies and short communications related to the following areas are encouraged:
- Extraction, separation, and purification of EUR;
- Physical and chemical properties and structural characterization of EUR;
- Physical, chemical, and biological modification of EUR;
- Process technology of EUR materials;
- EUR materials and their applications (films, shape memory biomaterials, root canal therapy filling, coating, damping and soundproof materials, self-healing elastic materials, tire, interfacial adhesion materials, etc.);
- Other topics related to EUR.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
