Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based dielectric gels represent a burgeoning area of research due to their unique combination of flexibility, dielectric properties, and adaptability in various technological applications. These materials are characterized by their polymer matrix, which is embedded with dielectric constituents, leading to exceptional properties such as high permittivity, low dielectric loss, and excellent mechanical flexibility. The increasing demand for advanced materials in electronic devices, sensors, and energy storage systems underscores the significance of exploring and understanding these innovative gels.
This Special Issue, entitled “Polymer-Based Dielectric Gels”, aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and industry experts to present their latest findings and developments in the field of polymer-based dielectric gels. The primary objective is to elucidate the fundamental aspects, synthesis methods, and potential applications of these materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: novel methods for synthesizing polymer-based dielectric gels; strategies for designing and optimizing polymer matrices and dielectric fillers to enhance performance characteristics; innovative applications of polymer-based dielectric gels in various fields; and computational studies and theoretical models to predict the behavior of polymer-based dielectric gels.
Potential authors are encouraged to contribute original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives that will collectively advance the understanding and application of polymer-based dielectric gels. Through this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the transformative potential of these materials and inspire innovative solutions to contemporary technological challenges.

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. Gels 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.
