Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porous organic polymer materials are a kind of new emerging porous materials, usually composed of light organic elements, including C, H, O, N, S, etc. Owing to the diversity of organic chemistry, porous organic polymer materials exhibit excellent designability compared with the traditional inorganic porous counterparts and show enormous application potential in various fields, such as adsorption, catalysis, sensing, energy storage, separation, water purification, biomedical applications, and so on. Further development of new porous organic polymer materials with different types and functions to meet different application requirements is always highly desired. To achieve this target, some great challenges such as precise characterization, large-scale synthesis, and easy processing of porous organic polymer materials should be further explored and overcome. Therefore, we believe that it is time to have a dedicated Special Issue on the recent developments in this field, covering potential topics including but not limited to the following:
- Amorphous porous organic polymer materials, including conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), hypercrosslinked porous polymers (HCPs), and polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs);
- Crystalline porous organic polymer materials, including covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs).
Applications of porous organic polymer materials in adsorption, catalysis, sensing, energy storage, separation, water purification, biomedical applications, etc.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
