Advances in Polymer-Based Luminescent Materials

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on Advances in Polymer-Based Luminescent Materials is devoted to the most recent original research articles or reviews on the developments in this field. In the past few years, luminescent polymers have emerged as a compelling research topic in academia due to their functionalization and various promising applications. Different types of luminescent polymers have been developed for bio-applications, energy conversion devices, etc. In the meantime, new structures and concepts have been established, leading to the gradually growing interest of academics. In this context, we launch this Special Issue to obtain an in-depth and wide understanding of structures, principles, applications in luminescent polymers. Both original articles and reviews on a specific related field are welcome.

Prof. Dr. Yuanjing Cai
Guest Editor

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.
