Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The widespread use of epoxy resin in modern functional materials does not reduce the relevance of research conducted in relation to them. Improving the performance of materials based on epoxy systems is achieved not so much through the synthesis of new epoxy resins, but through their modification by soluble and insoluble components in them. The spatial network of chemical bonds formed during the chemical reaction of curing modified homogeneous epoxy systems leads to the formation of a heterogeneous phase structure, which is capable of imparting unique performance characteristics to materials based on epoxy resin. A multiple increase in the properties of composite epoxy systems is achieved by introducing insolubly dispersed and reinforcing modifiers, provided that good adhesive properties are provided at the interface.
The purpose of the issue is to consider original research approaches to the study of epoxy systems, as well as modern materials based on epoxy resin and their application as coatings, compounds, composite binders and other functional materials. Release materials may include a wide range of research in the field of new technologies for the synthesis, modification, properties, self-healing, modeling and application of epoxy resin and materials based on them.

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.
