Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based materials are characterized by macromolecules with different functional groups and consist of a wide range of chemical–physical configurations. The fascinating world of nanocomposites offers materials with unique properties and new functionality due to the use of a combination of organic–inorganic materials, which would otherwise not be achievable with pristine materials. Nanoscale engineering allows for tunability of composition, structure, and size to achieve final properties suitable for varying, disparate applications. This Special Issue will cover basic scientific and engineering advances, such as novel manufacturing approaches for polymer-based materials and nanocomposites, to contribute to the diverse field of emerging applications, including those in energy production and storage, sensors, electronics, biomedical and bio-based smart devices, green technology, food industry, etc.

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.
