Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Composite materials have been getting overwhelming attention in recent years. In the past, polymer composites was utilized for the automotive and aerospace industry, but the times have changed. The study of polymer composites for other applications, such as for gas separation, water remediation, production of medical devices and many more, are quite remarkable. The increase in interest in these composite polymer materials could be because of their properties, such as their cost efficiency, multifunctionality, and wide range of applications. It is interesting to see that the addition of polymers in composite materials could greatly affect the performance of a product or process. This Special Issue aims to highlight the preparation process of polymeric composite materials for current and future applications, which include the discussion of how the structural and chemical properties would affect the functionalities of the polymer composites. Thus, authors conducting relevant studies are welcomed to share their latest findings in polymer-based composites, whether from an original study or article reviews for this Special Issue.

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.
