Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your research papers, communications, or review articles to the Special Issue entitled “Mechanical Response Characteristics and Performance Evaluation of Polymer Materials”.
This Special Issue focuses on exploring the latest progress and frontier trends in the characterization, performance evaluation, and analysis, as well as the applications of polymer systems. We warmly welcome contributions from scholars and researchers. The topics are not limited to the above-mentioned ones, and we encourage you to freely express your innovative research results in related fields. This Special Issue aims to promptly publish recent studies focused on the mechanical response characteristics and performance evaluation of polymer materials. The proposed topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Experimental and theoretical studies on the mechanical response;
- Evaluation of the fracture toughness, impact resistance, and damage tolerance;
- Investigation of the effects of processing parameters and structure factors on the mechanical performance;
- Application of advanced characterization techniques in evaluation.

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.
