Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The polymeric matrix can be reinforced in various ways, mainly by adding various hard particles and polymer blending is the convention trend until the last decade. Recent trends of polymer reinforcement are now focused to include nano inclusion into the polymer matrix. Incorporation of nanoparticles, such as CNT, graphene, and nano metal, to fabricate nanocomposites not only improves the mechanical properties, but also improves the various functionality, such as electrical conductivity, magnetic properties, antibacterial and optical pressure sensing, and many physical properties as well. This Special Issue will focus on the various functional properties of nanocomposites and polymer reinforcement in recent days.

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.
