Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Spectroscopic techniques were used for a long period of time to evaluate specific chemical information about the composition and structure of various materials. These, while numerous and varied, all involve measuring the response of a material to different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the technique used, material characterization may be based on the absorption, emission, impedance, or reflection of incident energy by a sample.

Spectroscopic methods play an important role for evaluating the structure, physical and chemical properties, determination of the configuration and conformation of polymer chains, stability of polymers, evaluation of degradation compounds, chemical reactions, etc., in polymeric and composite materials.

This Special Issue aims to present a collection of original research articles and reviews related to recent advances in the field of spectroscopic polymer and polymer composite characterization.

Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, liquid crystalline polymers, hydrogels, polyconjugates, conducting polymers, biopolymers, and polymeric blends and composites. Techniques covered include: Mid- and Near-IR spectroscopy and imaging, Raman spectroscopy and imaging, 2D-COS, NMR spectroscopy, ESR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, etc.

I would like to invite you to submit or recommend original research articles, communications, or review papers for the Special Issue of “Spectroscopic Polymer and Polymer Composites Characterization”, which aims to show recent developments and innovative applications of spectroscopic methods in polymer and polymer composites characterization.

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.
