Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced thermoset-based polymers have been used successfully as functional materials in a wide range of applications. Such materials, alone or reinforced with fibres, fillers, or toughening agents, yield materials with advantages in processability, designability, good fatigue performance, corrosion and mechanical ageing resistance, and multi-functional integration.
This Special Issue aims to compile original and cutting-edge research works in the field of advanced thermoset-based polymers.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Sustainable resin-based polymers;
- Resin-based composites, additives, coatings, adhesives, and sealants;
- Epoxy, phenolic, polyurethane, acrylic, vinyl, silicone resin, etc.;
- Resin performance optimization;
- Mechanical fatigue characterization;
- Calculation and simulation of thermoset chemistry, morphology or mechanical properties.

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.
