Special Issue Information
It is known that polymer and composite material characterisation by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) provides detailed structural information for product development and quality control in various applications, e.g., in polymer membranes for different processes. Expert evaluation of polymers using specialist techniques is essential in order to ensure product integrity and for quality control demands.
The Special Issue is about how physical methods (various types of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging, including combination with other physical methods for studying structure, properties or processes) produce valuable information for polymer characterisation at different stages of formation (starting from structural analysis), development and applications of polymers and polymer materials. This also considers new physical approaches and combinations with magnetic resonance techniques with the opportunity for application in polymer science.
Polymer electrolytes are very attractive. NMR application gives unique information about transport channel morphology and ionic and molecular mobility in different spatial scales. These results are very valuable not only for fundamental science but also practical application.

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.
