Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based materials have attracted much attention due to their outstanding characteristics, such as their light weight, low cost, recyclability, and excellent mechanical and chemical stability. Recent advancements in polymer science and technology for wearable smart devices have introduced great convenience to human life. Devices such as touchscreen displays, health-monitoring sensors, functional clothing, and other smart textile products all rely on the excellent electrical and mechanical properties of polymer materials. Moreover, polymers have also been used in biomedical applications, such as biosensors and tissue engineering, due to their good properties and biocompatibility. In addition, natural polymers such as cellulose also have received significant attention in recent years from both academia and industry due to their variety of good properties, such as a high surface area to low volume ratio. This Special Issue will focus on advances in these types of materials and their significance for the future.

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.
