Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermoplastic polymers and their composites have attracted remarkable attention due to their interesting properties which are required in various applications. Hence, they are interesting for various industrial applications such as electronics, automobiles, and appliances. However, their high fire hazard and huge emissions of smoke and toxic gasses (CO2 and CO) upon combustion have restricted their use and application. Thus, the improvement of the fire safety properties of polymeric materials, enhancement of their thermal stability, and suppression of their emission of smoke and toxic gases are mandatory industrial requirements for their safe use and extend their applications. Therefore, various flame retardant materials have been used to overcome this technical dilemma via dispersion in the polymer matrix in order to enhance the flame retardancy behavior. Lately, considerable efforts have been dedicated to the use of various nanomaterials to overcome failures in the mechanical strength of objects such as organoclay, halloysite nanotubes (1D), graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes, commercial graphite, and some metal nanoparticles as flame retardant fillers adhering to condensed-phase action.
Potential topics can include but are not limited to:
- Inorganic nanotube-based flame retardant materials;
- Graphene sheet-based flame retardants;
- Clay layer-based flame retardant materials;
- Mxene-based flame retardant materials;
- Nanoparticle-based flame retardant materials;
- Green flame retardant materials;
- Antibacterial flame retardant 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 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.
