Design and Synthesis of Conjugated Polymers for Electro-Optical Applications

This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Applications“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue “Design and Synthesis of Conjugated Polymers for Electro-Optical Applications” covers the synthesis, characterization, and electro-optical properties of various conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications. For example, liquid crystalline polymers; nonlinear optical polymers; electroluminescence polymers; and low-bandgap conjugated polymers for polymer solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and organic thin film transistors. The topics may also include conducting polymers for dye-sensitized solar cells, supercapacitors, and polymer lithium batteries. Both reviews and original research papers are welcome.

Guest Editor

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.
