Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The arena of nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and nanocomposites has bloomed in recent years, and the significance of this subject matter has increased in a variety of applications, such as automotive, aerospace, packaging, electronics, biotechnology, flexible sensors, and many other applications. In this regard, innovative polymer nanocomposites have become a most significant addition. Despite the excellent properties of carbon nanomaterials, the full exploitation of their properties toward the development of polymer nanocomposites is still a challenge.
In this regard, this Special Issue aims at creating an interdisciplinary forum of discussion on applications and theoretical and experimental advancements in the area of polymer nanocomposites holding various types of carbon nanomaterials. This issue accepts high-quality research articles as well as review articles that will illustrate and stimulate the continuing effort to understand the area of multifunctional carbon nanomaterial/polymer nanocomposites.

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).
