Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers with a tailor-made capacity to recognize a target molecular structure. In recent years, molecular imprinting technology has become a hot topic in the preparation of artificial systems capable of mimicking natural receptors. The expanding number of synthetical methods, the accessibility to many different formats and morphologies, the progress made in understanding the molecular recognition mechanisms that characterize them, and the broad spectrum of applications based on their selectivity properties make these materials a vibrant and constantly topical field of research. This Special Issue of Polymers provides a collection of high-quality full research papers, communications, and critical reviews covering both applied and fundamental aspects of molecular imprinting technology. The scope includes but is not limited to:
- Synthesis of new materials based on molecular imprinting and magnetic molecular imprinting.
- Developing electrochemical, optical, and biomimetic sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers.
- Applications of molecularly imprinted polymers.
- Hybrid materials.
- Theoretical study, simulation, and smart materials.

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.
