Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the Special Issue "Computational and Experimental Approaches in Polymeric Materials", https://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers/special_issues/816CP5T037, we are delighted to launch the second volume of this Special Issue, now entitled "Computational and Experimental Approaches in Polymeric Materials, 2nd Edition".
Polymers are advanced materials with numerous applications, and are present in almost every aspect of our daily life. Natural and synthetic polymers are widely employed in technology and industry, and are studied in relation to a range of scientific areas. Therefore, to fully capitalize upon the use of polymeric materials, technological advances must converge with chemical, physical, digital, and biological sciences. In addition, high-quality and in-depth insights into the physical–chemical and biological properties of polymers would facilitate the advancement of these amazing materials.
Thus, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research and review articles whose scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Synthesis of polymeric materials;
- Theory and simulation of polymeric materials;
- Analysis and/or characterization of polymeric materials;
- Physics of polymeric materials;
- Theory and simulation of polymeric materials;
- Processing and performance of polymeric materials;
- Functional polymeric materials;
- Degradation of polymeric materials;
- Dendrimers.

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.
