Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood is a material with a special natural pore structure. The unique cell pore and cell wall nanopore structure of wood give it superb functionalization modification possibilities when combined with other materials, especially polymers. Tremendous work and effort has been put into the development of wood-based polymeric functional materials. Moreover, the development of such functional materials is increasingly shifting from novelty to true high performance. These high-performance wood-based polymer functional materials demonstrate their high performance in energy storage, wastewater treatment, catalysis, adsorption, sensing, filtration, separation, etc. This Special Issue, entitled “Functional Wood-Based Polymeric Materials”, invites researchers to share ideas and methods on the preparation of high-quality functional wood-based 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. 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.
