Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous development in the field of bio-based materials has resulted in the use of renewable resources for the synthesis of polymers and production of composites. Research on bio-based materials is currently widespread, which is evident through numerous research undertakings globally resulting in large number of original publications. This research area is extensive and spans from the synthesis of polymers, to the production of composites and characterization and testing of these materials.
In this Special Issue, researchers from both academia and industry are invited to submit their latest studies on bio-based polymers and biocomposites. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for knowledge exchange on polymer synthesis, composite production, material analysis (physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, morphological, and interfacial), and performance of 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.
