Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue concerning Polymeric Material Chemistry that will be dedicated to the field of polymeric materials. Polymer based materials accompany humankind from the beginning of our civilization since wood is prominent biopolymer composite used by our ancestors. Today polymer based materials are mostly recognized as these derived from synthetic polymers, and despite serious environmental issues they do not lose the leading position among other engineering materials.
The Special Issue will deal with the aspect of synthesis and chemical modification of polymers. Potential topics will include: synthesis of new polymers, chemical modification of bio-based and synthetic polymers, synthetic-biobased polymer blends and composites, physicochemical characterization of novel polymer based materials.
Prof. Jacek Nowaczyk

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
