Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer materials are widely used because of their light weight and excellent mechanical properties, either alone or as the matrix of composites. To rational design polymer materials based on needs, the relationship between the polymer microstructure and the effective macroscopic properties is currently a focus of research and requires continued exploration. We are pleased to invite you to share research results and exchange ideas on the fabrication, testing, and modelling of high-performance polymers.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include the elasticity, viscoelasticity, yield, and fracture of polymer materials, the design and fabrication of polymer composites, and the accurate and fast testing methods for the mechanical properties of polymers.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Li Li
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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
