Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, there has been a tremendous growth of interest in porous materials. This is mostly due to novel successes in polymer chemistry, which allow us to obtain novel porous polymeric networks with specified morphology and various functional groups, providing specific and directed properties (covalent organic frameworks, hypercrosslinked porous polymers, conjugated microporous polymers, etc.). These polymers might be promising as novel organic or organoelement analogs for traditional highly porous materials such as zeolites, porous silica, and carbon.
In this context, this Special Issue is dedicated to the most recent research works on the development of novel functional porous polymers and findings around novel synthetic approaches, allowing the finetuning of porosity of these polymers, study of their properties, and application aspects in various fields of science and technology, such as catalysis, water purification, sensorics, chromatography, biomedical applications, etc.

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.
