Preparation and Application of Polymer with Rheological Properties

Dear Colleagues,

As an important material, polymers have a wide range of applications in various fields. Among them, the rheological properties of polymers are crucial for their applications in engineering and science. This special issue aims to explore the rheological properties of polymers, including their preparation methods, property characterization, and applications in different fields. We sincerely invite researchers and scholars interested in polymer rheological properties to submit their manuscripts. 

This special issue will cover various research areas. Firstly, we welcome research on the preparation methods and rheological property characterization techniques for novel polymers, which will contribute to the innovative development of polymer materials. Secondly, we encourage in-depth studies on the behavior of polymers under complex flow conditions, exploring the correlation between their rheological properties and other properties such as mechanical and thermal properties. Furthermore, we also expect to focus on specific application cases of polymer rheological properties in environmental geotechnics, chemical engineering and materials science, discussing their significance and prospects in practical engineering. The above list is only indicative and by no means exhaustive; any original theoretical, experimental or simulation work or review article on the role of preparation and application of polymers with rheological properties is welcome to comprehensively demonstrate the latest progress and future development directions of polymer rheological properties research. Through this special issue, we hope to promote a better understanding of the rheological properties of polymers in the academic community and facilitate new breakthroughs in this field of research and application.

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.
