Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have long been engaged in the research and development of smart materials, polymers-based composite, bionic soft robot and function materials and so on. This detailed research field includes the following aspects:
- Flexible drive polymer materials/bionic intelligent polymer materials. We research future-oriented depth robots to participate in human life, committed to flexible drive materials that simulate biological muscle function and performance.
- Bionic soft robot research. Faced with the future unmanned era, we commit to the study of biological action mechanisms and prepared some soft robots to serve people.
- Optoelectronic information functional polymer materials and devices. We focus on the preparation and characterization of functional ceramic thin film materials and the relationship between the structure, morphology and performance of lead-free piezoelectric ferroelectric materials and their application in energy storage devices, sensors and actuators.

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.
