Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional polymer material, which is sensitive to external stimuli (electric fields, magnetic fields, light irradiation, pressure responses, thermal treatment, pH, glucose concentration, redox response, gas stimulation, and humidity), facilitates the dynamic transformation of physical structures or chemical properties, such as surface-wetting properties, assembly and disassembly in supramolecular chemistry, swelling and shrinkage in materials science, and controlled drug release. Some notable examples of these polymer materials include photosensitive polymers, conductive polymers, photoelectric conversion polymers, biomedical polymers, superhydrophobic–superhydrophilic composites, fibre-reinforced composites, and polymer catalysts. In recent years, functional polymer material has been rapidly developed due to its cross-disciplinary integration, which has provided some important applications in nanoscience, material science, microfluidic control, bioscience, and mechanical engineering fields.

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.
