Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to articles on the formation of new polymeric nanomaterials, the characterization of properties, and material applications. Significant attention will be given to the chemical and physical formation methods of nanomaterials with improved properties for various applications. For many applications, polymers could be used solely; however, polymeric composite nanomaterials consist of different polymers or inorganic materials that are in the spotlight. This increases the interest in the search for new synthesis and material formation methods, which play a significant role in tuning nanomaterials properties. These factors lead to improved application performances and open new areas for applying polymer-based nanostructures.
As the Guest Editor, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with research articles and reviews on the topics of interest. Topics could include, but are not limited to:
- Formation of polymer-based composites and the tuning of their properties;
- Formation of new nanomaterials by using polymers as precursors or matrix;
- Polymer composite characterization, especially using novel research techniques;
- Enhanced properties of polymer-based nanomaterials;
- Improved performances of polymer-based nanomaterials;
- New applications of polymer-based nanomaterials.

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.
