Polymeric Porous Materials for Advanced Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Polymeric porous materials have drawn significant attention in recent years due to their broad range of applications in separations, catalysis, energy storage, drug delivery, etc. The unique and diverse chemical structures, high surface area, and polymeric nature of these materials provide them with both a porous architecture and processibility, resulting in distinct properties for various applications. These polymer-based porous materials include porous organic polymers (POPs), polymer-modified hybrid porous materials, and porous coordination polymers, which can be amorphous or crystalline. This Special Issue aims to present recent progress in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of polymeric porous materials. We anticipate that it will contribute to communications in broad material areas and encourage more explorations in both the fundamental studies and advanced applications of these materials. This Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Synthesis and characterization of polymeric porous materials;
• Polymeric porous materials with stimuli-responsive properties;
• Polymeric materials with tunable porosity;
• Polymeric porous materials for separations;
• Polymeric porous materials for catalysis;
• Polymeric porous materials for energy storage;
• Polymeric porous materials for drug delivery;
• Polymeric porous material-based functional nanocomposites;
• Polymeric porous material-based membranes and devices.

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.
