Degradation and Stabilization of Polymer Systems: Recent Advances

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection aims to present recent advances on the degradation and stabilization of polymer systems and their micro- and nanocomposites. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Advances in photodegradation and photo-oxidation of polymer and polymer composites;
• Advances in thermal degradation of polymer and polymer composites;
• New flame retardants for polymers and polymer composites;
• New bio-based strategies for enhancing the thermal, photo-oxidative, and fire resistance of polymer and polymer composites;

New insights in modeling the degradation of polymers and polymer composites.

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. 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 collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
