Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochromism is a phenomenon in which the optical properties of materials undergo a stable and reversible colour change in response to an applied electric field, which is manifested in the appearance as a reversible change in colour and transparency. This phenomenon or property makes the Electrochromic materials one of the most promising smart materials in the 21st century. In particular, organic electrochromic materials and devices, based on conducting polymers and metallo-polymers, are widely studied and applied in glasses, goggles, smart windows and outdoor advertising due to their low-cost, high contrast, bistable state and wide range of work temperature properties.
For this Special Issue, we welcome all kinds of research papers or reviews with various perspectives on synthesis, characterization and advances in application of electrochromic materials and devices.

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.
