Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photopolymerization technology is now undoubtedly rooted in our day-to-day lives. Being widely recognized as environment-friendly, energy-saving and relatively low-cost, photopolymerization processes are constantly under the magnifying glass due to both their broad applications in the coating, adhesive, ink, lithography and dentistry industries and their huge potential in additive manufacturing and other emerging fields.
However, the ongoing research on novel photopolymerizable systems is pushing the boundaries of this technology further and further, hinting at new possibilities and advanced applications.
The scope of this Special Issue, “Latest Progresses in Photopolymerization”, is to present original research articles and review papers on cutting-edge works ranging from the synthesis to processing, characterization and applications of novel photopolymerizable systems.

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.
