Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synthetic polymeric materials have greatly contributed to the development of novel, lighter, stronger and higher-thermostability materials. Along with new catalytic systems and processes, synthetic polymer chemistry is evolving rapidly towards the development of highly functional materials. New functional polymeric materials are produced through precise molecular engineering, surface engineering and/or composite preparation and other possible means for the betterment of the existing polymer technology and products.
In view of this goal, this Special Issue in Polymers, “Latest Progress on Polymer Synthesis with Multifunctional Monomers”, will disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the field of polymer science and technology, including polymer synthesis with (multi)functional monomers, which impart specific chemical resistance/reactivity mechanisms and physical, chemical, structural, biological and/or therapeutic functions. Original articles, reviews, mini-reviews and short communications covering the latest advances in the synthesis, applications and characterization of functional polymers are 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.

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.
