Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene-based polymer composites with improved properties are of great interest due to their lightweight, conductivity, and durability. They have the potential to replace metals and ceramics in several applications, which can reduce energy and cost. Different preparation methods like solution mixing, melt blending, and in situ polymerization have been used to obtain these composites with improved properties that can be used in many applications. In this Special Issue, we aim to present the recent advances in this domain focusing on different possible applications where graphene-based composites can be utilized in various industries. We encourage you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Short communications, full papers, and reviews related to graphene-based composites are all welcome.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
