Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer materials play essential roles as modern industrial materials. Applications of advanced polymers and composites (demonstrating high mechanical performance), biomedical polymers (bio-degradable, bio-substitute materials, etc.), and metamaterials (soft, superconductive, etc.) have shown impressive growth.
Researchers and engineers are making great efforts to develop advanced polymer materials, processing and molding technology, equipment, and advanced parameter optimization methods in order to meet new industrial demands, including but not limited to continuous carbon fiber/engineering thermoplastic composites, multi-functional materials, 3D printing technology for molds and tiny structures, deep learning for processing parameter or structure optimization and design, etc.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers focusing on advanced precision polymer processing and molding methods. Promising research works about simulation and design, experimental discovery, and technology development are welcome for submission.

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.
