Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present collection proposes to cover a large domain regarding the synthesis of polymer materials and the structure–properties correlation. The synthesis strategy could involve controlled radical polymerizations (CRP), ionic polymerization, polycondensation, radical polymerization, etc. The type of synthesis strategy influences the structure of the final polymers, which dictates the properties of the material. It is important to highlight the relationship between the synthesis strategy, structure, morphology, and properties. Obviously, the correlation could be made starting from the final properties of the polymers. Thus, considering these aspects, the structure can be deduced and associated with the synthesis strategy. Another important factor is the polymer synthesis technology, respectively, the processability, in attaining the desired applicability areas.
Reviews and research papers covering aspects of current trends in the development of polymer-based materials are desired.

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.
