Anti-Corrosive Polymer Materials
This special issue belongs to the section “Smart and Functional Polymers“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Anti-Corrosive Polymer Materials” aims to advance the field of corrosion science by providing a dedicated platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their latest discoveries and advancements in polymer materials designed to combat corrosion. This Special Issue covers both metallic and non-metallic corrosion, addressing various aspects from theoretical studies to practical applications. It encompasses developing and characterizing novel anti-corrosive polymer materials, investigating corrosion mechanisms and innovative methods for control, exploring surface science and engineering principles, evaluation techniques for performance and durability, real-world applications in diverse industries, and considerations of environmental impact and sustainability. This Special Issue promotes collaboration and knowledge exchange among metallurgists, materials scientists, and corrosion researchers by bringing together original research articles, critical reviews, and case studies. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering valuable insights and resources to facilitate the development and utilization of anti-corrosive polymer materials for effective corrosion prevention and control.
Dr. Abdul Shakoor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
