Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, polymeric materials are widely used in many different technical fields. Polymer plastics are increasingly replacing traditional construction materials, and therefore, they can be used to produce machine and mechanism elements or be used as functional materials. Due to the growing interest in modern polymeric materials, scientific information related to specialized research on the complex chemical structure of plastics, as well as the possibility of modifying their features and properties during processing, may be useful for specialists from various fields of science and technology.
Following the success of the previous Special Issue of Polymers (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers/special_issues/H4Q4U14CJR), we are delighted to reopen this Special Issue, now entitled “Synthesis, Processing, Structure and Properties of Polymer Materials: 3rd Edition”. Its aim is to highlight the progress in and fundamental aspects of the synthesis, characterization, properties, and application of novel polymeric materials, as well as their copolymers, composites, and nanocomposites. We invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
