Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This SI is continuing on the subject of polymer materials in sensors, actuators and energy conversion, with the second volume of the Special Issue having successfully published 12 regular papers and 1 review paper. Polymer-based material applications are playing a key role in recent developing areas of smart matters and electronic devices. They cover the synthesis, structures and properties of polymers and composites, including energy-harvesting devices and energy-storage devices for electromechanical (electrical to mechanical) energy conversion and magnetomechanical (magnetic to mechanical) energy conversion, light-emitting devices and electrical driving sensors. Therefore, the modulation of polymer-based materials and devices for controlling detection, actuation and energy with functionalized relative devices is achieved.

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.
