Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The relationship between processing, structure, and properties is key to the development of advanced polymeric materials with optimized performance. This topic collection invites contributions that explore the design, fabrication, characterization, and application of polymeric materials, blends, composites, and nanocomposites. Special attention will be given to studies proposing innovative, sustainable, and environmentally friendly approaches. Works focusing on advanced processing technologies such as electrospinning, solution blow spinning, 3D printing, and other emerging techniques will also be considered, especially when applied to areas such as pollutant sequestration, sensing, biomedical applications, and the development of sustainable strategies for material recycling. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art and future perspectives in polymer science and engineering, with a particular focus on sustainability and technological innovation.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
