Injection Molding of Polymers and Polymer Composites

Dear Colleagues,

The injection molding of polymers and polymer composites is a versatile way to fabricate multifunctional components or structural parts for applications in the fields of automotives, biomedicine, electronics, packaging, aerospace, etc. Processing methods of interest include conventional injection molding, foam injection molding, reaction injection molding, ultrasonic-assisted injection molding, and microinjection molding, as developed to suit the needs of the above-mentioned sectors. The properties of the molded parts are primarily determined by the development of crystalline structures, the distribution and orientation of functional fillers, which can be affected by the types of fillers and host matrices, part geometries, and processing conditions. This Special Issue provides a forum for the discussion of the injection molding of polymers and polymer composites, with a focus on state-of-the-art progress, developments, and new trends. Perspectives, review articles, full papers, short communications, and technical papers on this topic 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 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.
