Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition steps from fundamental polymer science to plastic application in industry is often a key hurdle for science exploitation. This area and the subsequent materials recycling issues generated are vital components of enabling the circular economy.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to highlight research taking place across the transition phases between fundamental polymer science in chemistry, physics and biology and into wider engineering application through research challenges in material, processing or recycling. An emphasis on both application and a consideration of disposal methods is strongly encouraged.

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.
