Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of our esteemed journal is dedicated to cutting-edge developments in the realm of flame-retardant polymer materials. It aims to spotlight the latest research, innovative methodologies, and groundbreaking technologies that are redefining safety standards in the polymer industry. We invite contributions that address the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced flame-retardant materials with a focus on enhanced performance, environmental sustainability, and compliance with international safety regulations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel flame retardants for various polymeric systems;
- Mechanistic studies on flame inhibition and material combustion;
- Eco-friendly and non-toxic flame retardant agents;
- The influence of additives on the thermal and mechanical properties of polymers;
- Tailoring of polymer architecture for inherent flame retardancy;
- Multifunctional materials integrating flame retardancy with other desirable attributes;
- Evaluation and testing methodologies for flame retardant efficiency.
By bringing together research from academia and industry, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and stimulate debate about future directions in the field of flame-retardant polymer science. We encourage submissions from researchers worldwide who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and safety in polymer materials.
We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue of Materials, entitled “Design and Development of Flame-Retardant Polymer Materials,” in the form of research papers, communications, and review articles. We look forward to your participation in this Special Issue.

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. 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 2600 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.
