Photopolymerisation

Dear Colleagues,

Photopolymerisation has a wide range of applications across various fields due to its ability to rapidly and precisely cure materials. Some notable uses include coatings and inks, medical and dental applications, microelectronics, photonics, etc. Nowadays, one of the most significant and transformative applications of photopolymerisation is found in the field of additive manufacturing, with one promising technology being developed in the past few years for the fabrication of complex objects used in a wide variety of applications, like aerospace, automotive industries, (bio)medical and architecture. Understanding the photophysical and photochemical processes that occur during photoinitiation and its coupling with the material properties is of great value for the aforementioned topics. Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled “Photopolymerisation”, will compile original and innovative research on the development, characterisation, and application of novel photopolymerizable systems.

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. Photochem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
