Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In silico simulation, modeling, and computation have evolved into powerful tools to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the macroscopic phenomena and behavior of polymers, predict their physicochemical properties, and discover and design next-generation polymeric materials. A wide range of simulation methods and packages, from those based on quantum mechanics with subatomic resolutions to continuum frameworks dealing with bulk materials, are at the disposal of researchers to study polymers over a full spectrum of length, time, and energy scales under various conditions. Multiscale models are also undergoing rapid development and validation. This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform that allows polymer researchers to exchange exciting results, recent progress, and emerging ideas on understanding polymers from the perspectives of simulation, modeling, and computation. The Special Issue welcomes reports and reviews covering any aspect of polymer modeling, using methods that include, but are not limited to, density functional theory, molecular dynamics simulation, Monte Carlo simulation, coarse-grained modeling, lattice Boltzmann simulation, self-consistent field theory, mesh-free methods, multiscale simulation, and machine learning algorithms.

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.
