Frontiers in Synthesis-Property-Applications of Multifunctional Environmentally Friendly Polymers

Dear Colleagues,

Due to ecological reasons there is a considerable interest to decrease the usage of petroleum-derived chemicals and materials. Hence, there is a growing attention of researchers concentrated on research and synthesis on novel multi-functional materials based on environmentally friendly chemicals dedicated for large-scale applications. There is a lack of works describing the applications of multifunctional environmentally friendly materials, because the research focuses on receiving and the synthesis of new polymers based on bio-sourced and ecological raw materials, rather than seeking their innovative applications.

Therefore, the aim of Special Issue Frontiers in Synthesis-Property-Applications of Multifunctional Environmentally Friendly Polymers is focused on the interdisciplinary discussion on properties, large-scale synthesis and applications of environmentally friendly materials based on biobased raw materials.

In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Synthesis for large-scale production of multifunctional polymers based on bio-sourced raw materials
• Characterizations of multifunctional polymers
• Functionalization of polymers based on bio-sourced raw materials
• Applications for large-scale purposes of multifunctional polymers.

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.
