Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based organic semiconductor materials attract considerable attention due to their promising applications in flexible electronics, such as next-generation human-friendly electronics (electronic skin, implantable and wearable devices), photovoltaics, and displays. Moreover, the unique advantages of polymer semiconductors (lightweight, structure tunability, and solution-processability) favor their compatibility with printed and roll-to-roll fabrication techniques.
Accordingly, this Special Issue on Advances in Polymer-Based Organic Semiconductor Materials and Devices aims to present recent and original advances in polymer semiconductor materials. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Polymer semiconductor synthesis and characterization;
- Film morphology of polymer semiconductors, and charge transfer mechanism and carrier dynamics in polymer semiconductor films;
- Applications of polymer semiconductors in photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, transistors, and other electronic 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.
