Dear Colleagues,

The annual Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition brings together Canadian and international colleagues working in chemistry, materials science, engineering, and related disciplines to discuss and exchange their latest exciting research developments and to build new networks and collaborations. Academic researchers, students, and colleagues working in industry and government are key participants in this meeting.

The Macromolecular Science and Engineering Division programming for the 2019 meeting spans an exciting array of topics ranging from polymers for energy and electronic applications to polymers for biotechnology and biomedical areas, and is organized in collaboration with the Materials Chemistry Division and the Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Division.

The topics include but are not limited to the following:

- Polymers for biotechnology and medicine;
- Polymeric coatings;
- Advances in metal-catalyzed polymerization techniques;
- Stimuli-responsive materials and interfaces;
- Green approaches for pi-electron functional materials;
- Innovative concepts in organic materials—building blocks, self-assembly, and nanostructures;
- Materials for flexible and printed electronics;
- Progress in polysaccharide characterization and chemical modification.

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.

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.
