Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue is dedicated to the latest advancements in the field of optoelectronic polymers, focusing on their design, synthesis, and application. We welcome contributions that cover the entire spectrum of research, from fundamental science to practical applications, including but not limited to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), and other emerging technologies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Innovative synthetic methods for optoelectronic polymers
- Design principles for high-performance optoelectronic devices
- Characterization techniques for polymeric materials and devices
- Mechanistic studies on charge carrier dynamics and photophysics
- Energy conversion and storage applications of polymeric materials
- Integration of polymeric materials in flexible and wearable electronics
- Environmental stability and degradation mechanisms of optoelectronic polymers-based devices
- Computational modelling and simulation of optoelectronic polymers
- Biocompatibility and biodegradability of polymers for sustainable electronics
I sincerely invite you to submit original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue. Please contact the editorial team if you have any inquiries related to your submission.
Kind regards,
Dr. Qiao He

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.
