Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric composites are used in a myriad of applications, ranging from the biomedical to the aerospace fields. Polymer matrices can be blended with various inorganic and organic materials to enhance their properties, such as their mechanical, thermal, electrical, rheological, optical, physical, and chemical properties. Inorganic fillers can be utilized to provide a thermal and electrical path. Many components can be blended to achieve synergy.
In this Special Issue, authors are encouraged to submit work that focuses on new composites with properties improved through the synergy of their components, which can help to overcome the limits of existing materials. New composites can be useful for both the academic and industrial fields.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Polymer–polymer blends;
- Polymer–fiber composites, including glass fiber, carbon fiber, inorganic fiber, and organic fiber;
- Polymer–inorganic component composites, including clays, talc, mica, silica, CaCO3, nanoparticles, polyoxometalates, and catalysts;
- Polymer–organic molecule composites, including dyes, pigment, drugs, and liquid crystal;
- Polymer–conductive particle composites that provide a thermal and conductive path;
- Polymer–hybrid molecule composites;
- Biocompatible polymeric composites;
- Biodegradable polymeric composites.

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.
