Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Holography is an important area with many emerging applications, such as sensors, security holograms, green photonics, holographic data storage, holographic optical elements, dynamic applications, etc. The development of materials for these applications is a key issue. Photopolymers are a type of recording material, which are very interesting in studies related to these novel applications, due to their flexibility, easy preparation, and low cost. The main focus of the “Photopolymers for Holographic Applications” Special Issue is to provide and comprehend important topics, such as the development of new materials for holographic recording and their potential applications in science and engineering. Therefore, novel developments in science and technology, with prospective application in holography, materials development, photopolymerization, or applications will be addressed in this issue.
With immense pleasure, we invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome.
Dr. Manuel Ortuño
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. Materials 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 2600 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.
