Hybrid Nano Polymer Composites
This special issue belongs to the section "Nanocomposite Materials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid nano polymer composites are one of the fastest developing classes of new materials and have led to numerous technological innovations. Reinforcement by two or more nanofillers in a single polymer is an effective method to design composite materials with a great diversity of properties and functionality. Incorporation of different nanofiller types into a polymer is known to cause substantial changes in the physical and mechanical properties of composites, and in some cases hybridization results in synergistic effects on properties, which is one of the major advantages of the composite materials.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest original research and review articles in all areas of hybrid nano polymer composites, focusing on novel techniques for their preparation, microstructure, performances, application and theories for predicting their unique properties. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will attempt to cover the most recent advances in the design of hybrid nanocomposites, tailoring of interfaces between nano-objects and matrix, microstructural organization, percolation of two or more nanofillers, and other essential factors leading to the reinforcement, functionality and synergic effects in those advanced materials.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
