Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of technology, flexible functional and smart textiles are gaining momentum. Textiles have various physicochemical characteristics depending on different fiber categories (wool, silk, cotton, viscose, nylon, polyester, etc.) and corresponding composite structures (multiple polymeric fiber construction, surface inorganic functionalization, functional powder modification, dye and enzyme regulation, etc.). Compared with inorganic fiber textiles, polymeric textiles with chain connectivity and chain uncrossability play an important bridging role in multi-functional textile processing, molding and post-processing. As a result, polymeric textile materials have witnessed rapid development of various applications in recent years, such as fiber mechanical reinforcement, wear-resisting enhancement treatment, antibacterial finishing, surface superhydrophobic, electromagnetic shielding, fiber-based energy storage, thermal protection and flame retardant finishing, sizing and thickening agents, dyes and printing additives, recycling and degradation applications. Therefore, understanding the molding method, composition structure, structure-activity relationship, performance mechanism and theoretical simulation of different polymeric textile materials in various applications can form the basis for the novel, efficient and economic design of polymeric textiles.
Recognizing the influence and importance of polymer materials on the multi-dimension of textiles, this Special Issue of Polymeric Textile Materials invites contributions addressing several aspects of various polymers and corresponding complexes, such as fiber forming polymer (cellulose, silk, protein, viscose, polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, etc.), engineering plastic polymer (makrolon, polyformaldehyde, polyphenyl ether, polyimide, polyphenylene sulphide, polysulfone, polyaryletherketone, etc.), coating and adhesive polymer (polyvinyl chloride, asphalt, cyanoacrylate, chitosan, glucan, etc.), dye and pigment polymer (azo-polymer, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine, etc.), conducting polymer (polypyrrole, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polyaniline, etc.), rubber polymer (polyisoprene, polybutadiene, etc.), general purpose plastic polymer (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, phenolic resin, polyurethane, epoxy resin, etc.), etc. The above list is only indicative and by no means exhaustive. Any original theoretical or simulation work or review article on polymeric textile materials in intelligent/functional textile preparation methods, advanced configuration, colour construction, surface post-treatment, high-performance application is welcome.

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.
