Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer crystals and crystallization play a crucial role in various material processes. The study of polymer crystals involves understanding the molecular arrangement and the resulting physical or chemical properties. Crystallization is the process of transforming polymers from a disordered state to an ordered crystalline structure. By controlling the crystallization process, researchers can manipulate the properties of polymers, such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, and optical characteristics. Additionally, photonic crystals, a subset of crystalline materials, have gained significant attention due to their ability to manipulate and control light flow. These structures exhibit unique properties, such as photonic bandgaps and high refractive indices, making them promising candidates for optical devices, sensors, and telecommunications applications. The exploration of polymer and photonic crystals continues to drive innovation and advancements in various scientific and technological domains, opening up new possibilities for tailored materials with enhanced properties.

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.
