Call For Papers

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, there have been increasing research activities in the use of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to prepare well-defined polymers. ATRP is one of the most rapidly developing areas of polymer science that allows easy control over molecular weight, preparation of polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions, incorporation of precisely placed functionalities, and fabrication of various architectures. Significant efforts have been dedicated to the green chemistry class of this approach, including low ppm ATRP techniques, which are based on improving regeneration processes of copper in the lower oxidation state using appropriate reducing agent or external stimuli.

This Special Issue is intended to cover the latest advances and developments in the synthesis of precisely defined polymers with different architecture with an emphasize on ATRP methods with diminished catalyst concentration, which offers a more environmentally benign and industrially relevant alternative for synthesizing polymers compared to normal ATRP. Topics include, but are not limited to, optimization of reaction setup, kinetics investigation of synthesis processes, characterization of ATRP macroinitiators, and received macromolecules including naturally-derived polymers.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Original, high-quality research articles and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Paweł Chmielarz
Guest Editor


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 papers will be 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. Materials 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 1800 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.
