Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in carbon-based polymer composites, a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of materials science and engineering. We aim to cover a broad range of topics related to the synthesis, processing, and characterization of these composites, as well as their diverse applications. This Special Issue will bring together original research articles and reviews highlighting advances in carbon-based materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers, as well as their integration into polymer matrices. We seek contributions that explore innovative methods for synthesizing these composites, novel processing techniques to enhance their properties, detailed characterization to understand their structure–property relationships, and their applications in various fields such as electronics, aerospace, automotives, and environmental technology.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and scientists to share their findings, discuss challenges, and present future directions in the field of carbon-based polymer composites.

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. C is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
