Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conjugated polymers are one of the most promising polymeric materials for commercial applications due to their tunable properties, which can be controlled through molecular design, precise polymerization, and processing methods. The unique chemical and physical properties of conjugated polymers are closely related to their ordered structures through stacking and/or supramolecular assembly. Systematic evaluation of structure–property relationships in conjugated polymers can afford fundamental information for the improvement of the properties and the development of high-performance electronic devices. There is no doubt that conjugated polymers will continue to find new applications that will be of interest in various research fields.
In this Special Issue, we call for papers concerning theory, design, synthesis, and characterization of conjugated polymers and their functions as batteries, catalysts, emitting diodes, sensors, solar cells, transistors, etc. New insights into the structure–property relationship leading to enhancing these functions are also welcome. We aim to publish both original research articles and reviews.

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.
