Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2022, Yeungnam University, Republic of Korea, celebrated its 75th anniversary. The prestigious Yeungnam University is known for its commitment to research and its inventiveness. Novel structures and a combination of nanomaterials and polymers are mandatory for constructing high-performance, reliable systems and materials for energy, environment, and biomedical applications. Thus, research worldwide involves numerous efforts in nanomaterials and polymeric materials to attain phenomenal benefits. In this perspective, we invite the leading researchers/professors/technologists to contribute their manuscripts covering the topics of the following: developments of novel polymer materials, polymer blends, composites, reinforcement, cross-linking, ion exchange, membranes, separators, hydrogels, conductive polymers, bio-derived polymers and electrode materials, heterostructure nanomaterials, hetero-atom doped nanomaterials, the new composite of electrode materials, and core–shell structures. Examples of applications within the Special Issue’s scope include, but are not limited to: water splitting; hydrogen production; secondary batteries; fuel cells; supercapacitors; renewable energy systems; sensors; water filtration and purification; pollutant degradation/removal; polymer processing; and biomedical applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
