Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
UV-induced polymerization of multifunctional monomers has found a large number of industrial applications, mainly in the production of films, inks and coatings on a variety of substrates including paper, metal and wood. In particular, cationic photopolymerization is an interesting UV-induced process since the mechanism is characterized by important advantages, such as absence of oxygen inhibition, low shrinkage upon curing, and good versatility of the crosslinked materials. It is therefore important to review the recent advances achieved in the field of cationic photopolymerization.

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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.
