Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With a growing emphasis in the construction industry on eco-friendly and environmentally responsible practices, this Special Issue, titled “Sustainable Polymeric Materials in Building and Construction, 2nd Edition”, aims to collate cutting-edge scientific and industrial research on sustainable polymeric materials. Contributions may cover a broad spectrum of subjects that include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Resilience in building practice;
- Green polymers in building and construction;
- The real-world performance of polymeric building materials;
- The life cycle assessment of polymeric building materials;
- Durability and service life prediction of polymers in building construction;
- The integration of polymers in sustainable building practices;
- Recyclability and upcycling of polymeric building materials.
This Special Issue aims to significantly contribute to the ongoing global effort towards greener and more sustainable construction practices, serving as a platform for researchers, experts, and scholars whose research is focused on sustainable polymeric materials used in building and construction to share their recent findings. The editors of this Special Issue welcome contributions of original research articles, review papers, communications, and theoretical discussions pertaining to the subject matter. We extend this invitation to all those whose research may offer an advantageous contribution to the literature in this field. We look forward to receiving your valuable contribution.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
