Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer/layered inorganic composites are a new type of polymer composite with polymer as matrix and layered inorganic compound dispersed in the matrix at nanometer scale. Due to the nano effect brought by nanoparticles and the strong interfacial interaction between nanoparticles and matrix, polymer/layered inorganic composites have better mechanical and thermal properties than conventional polymer composites with the same composition, which provides a possibility for the preparation of high-performance and multifunctional next-generation composites. At present, the study of polymer/layered inorganic composites has become a hot topic and a frontier topic in material science research, and has great scientific significance and broad application prospects. This Special Issue aims to collect scientific papers on the latest advances in polymer/layered inorganic composites. Contributions are invited on all topics, including but not limited to the synthesis and preparation of polymer composites; polymers with excellent mechanical, thermal and flame-retardant properties; multifunctional composites; reinforcement mechanism studies; and polymer nanocomposites. Full-length papers, short communications, and opinion articles that showcase and discuss the latest trends in these fields are welcome.

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. Molecules 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.
