Polymer Composites: Preparation, Properties, and Application

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a call for submissions to a Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences on the topic of “Polymer Composites: Preparation, Properties, and Applications”.

Presently, processing of sustainable polymeric systems based on up-to-date polymeric materials (renewable, smart materials, functional biomaterials) covered or filled with organic and inorganic fillers, modified with environmentally friendly additives providing progressive material features have gained significant attention. Recent technological progress in utilisation and application of composite systems guaranteeing adventitious properties as bacterial resistance, cell adhesion/proliferation, controlled time life, biodegradability is often inquired for advanced products in the form of foams, fibres, 3D printed micro-structures and products having hierarchically structured surface.

We encourage submission of both original research articles and topical reviews on all aspects of polymer composite preparation, characterisation, as well as their 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
