Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To prevent catastrophic global climate change, carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets have been put forward worldwide. In this context, as renewable and biodegradable biomass resources, the most common natural polymers, such as cellulose, lignin, chitin, collagen, and so on, have dramatically attracted significant attention in recent decades. Moreover, a large number of biomass-based materials have been developed from these natural polymers, which have a wide range of applications in various fields, such as the packaging, energy, and biomedical fields.
To promote the development of biomass-based materials and expand their application, this Special Issue is focused on the preparation and application of cellulose-based and chitosan-based 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.
