Simulations of Polymers

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focus on the current state-of-the-art of simulations of polymeric materials. The simulation of polymeric materials has come of age and true prediction of physical and mechanical properties is feasible. Polymeric materials are used widely in coating and structural applications, as well as components of composites.

Papers are sought that discuss the latest research in the area or summarize selected areas of the field. The scope of the Special Issue encompasses all methods of polymer simulation from the atomistic to larger scale simulation.

Of particular interest are developments that cover the length scales of simulation and those that illustrate the growing ability to use molecular orbital methods to gain insight into structure/function.

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.
