Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural polysaccharides have garnered significant attention due to their sustainability, biodegradability, and environmental friendliness. There are abundant functional groups in the structure of natural polysaccharides with the potential for chemical modification via different approaches. Modified polysaccharides can be applied in many fields, such as chemical engineering, medicine, electronic engineering, textiles, and so on.
This Special Issue of the open access journal Polymers aims to collect cutting-edge, innovative and original research papers on the topic of “Natural Polysaccharides: Synthesis, Modification and Application”. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis of natural polysaccharides;
- Modification of natural polysaccharides;
- Development of new natural polysaccharides;
- Structural characterization of natural polysaccharides;
- Functional materials based on natural polysaccharides;
- Application of new natural polysaccharides.
We look forward to receiving contributions describing natural polysaccharides.
Dr. Lili Wang
Guest Editor
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.
