Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research into polymer nanocomposites has recently attracted a great deal of interest due to the variety of applications they offer. Functionalized polymeric nanocomposites with carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide (GO)/reduced GO, 2D/3D layered structures, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), biomaterials, metal/covalent organic framework (MOF/COF), and metal oxides/nanoparticles are gaining much interest owing to their distinctive physical, chemical, structural, and interfacial properties, desirable for application. Therefore, advancements in polymer nanocomposites are crucial for researchers in all aspects of technique, design, development, and application in numerous domains.
This Special Issue will emphasize the highlights in new research areas pertinent to the development of emerging functional polymeric nanocomposites with exploration for multi-applications in several domains, viz., coatings, flame-retardants, optical/photovoltaic devices, catalysis, photocatalysis, energy storage and electronic/bio-devices, sensors/biosensors, fuel cells, environmental remediation, membrane filters, bone/tissue-engineering, and drug delivery. The objective of this Special Issue is to converse the present progressive trends of various polymeric nanocomposite materials and their perspectives for future generations.

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.
