Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polyimide (PI), a polymer material that is employed in engineering due to its many advantageous characteristics, has garnered enhanced interest from researchers engaged in fundamental research as well from companies dedicated to its application and commercialization. Owing to its excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, chemical resistance and electrical properties, aromatic PI is widely utilized in the aerospace industry, in the military and opto-electronics, and in liquid crystal alignments, composites, electroluminescent devices, electrochromic materials, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, polymer memories, fibre optics, etc. However, the difficulties and high costs associated with its processing limit its further application.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather recent research regarding the utilization of PI in cutting-edge scientific fields such as synthesis, modification and characterization in order to promote the development of PI scientific theory, advance its fabrication, expand its application, and provide interactive opportunities for researchers.

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.
