Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Polymers is devoted to the “16th European Meeting on Fire Retardant Polymeric Materials", hosted by The University of Bolton and University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). This Issue will include papers reporting the most recent advances on fire retardancy of polymers and composite materials. As the Guest Editors, we would like to invite you to submit your unpublished and original research relevant to this topic. Please note that there will be a 50% reduction on the Article Processing Charge (APC) for this Special issue (i.e., 700 CHF—Swiss Francs).

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.
