Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers are a class of materials which have different properties and consequently a variety of applications, depending on their properties. They are being used for diverse applications starting from insulating to conducting. Some of the polymers and their composites are used as electrolytes or insulating materials in electrical devices. There are conducting polymers, which are being used for energy storage applications such as transistors, sensors, photovoltaic, etc. Their electro-chemical and physical properties can be easily altered and controlled by external stimulations such as electricity, pH, light etc. Polymer-based materials are widely used in bio-chemical applications. Since polymer materials are compatible with 3D printing, they are being used extensively in device fabrications.
This Special Issue focuses on the experimental and theoretical study of electrochemical aspect of polymers and polymer composites. This include synthesis of new polymer-based materials for any of the electrochemical applications or investigation of electrochemical properties of existing materials. Also, we encourage the submission of papers based on new methods/techniques on the fabrication of electrochemical cells. Similarly, we will accept papers on electro/thermo-chromic properties of polymers.

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.
