Polymers and Polymer Composites: Structure-Property Relationship, 2nd Edition

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to submit your research papers, communications or review articles to the Special Issue entitled “Polymer and Polymer Composites: Preparation, Structure, Properties and Application”. Polymer and polymer composite materials are widely applied in both daily life and industrial fields. Due to the significant expansion in the use of newly developed polymer and polymer composite materials, it is necessary to understand and accurately describe the relationship between material structure and properties, as only based on thorough laboratory characterization is it possible to estimate the properties for their future commercial applications. The scope of this Special Issue is to address the recent developments of structural/functional polymers and their composites, including fundamental structure–property relationships, preparation methods, synthesis routes, simulation models, basic mechanical properties, functional performance (heat, electrical, photoelectric, magnetic, etc.) and advanced application in daily/industrial fields.

We look forward to receiving your work for this Special Issue.

Dr. Shaojian He
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.
