Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocomposites have received tremendous interest in the last thirty years from scientific and industrial communities. Even though numerous studies have been published, research on nanocomposites' preparation, properties, and applications has not yet been exhausted. There is still an enormous need for new, high-performance materials matching specific demands from different fields. Furthermore, it is also imperative to understand the complex phenomena occurring between the constituent phases during the synthesis of these heterogeneous materials and how they affect the final properties.
Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue, “Nanocomposites: Preparation, Properties and Applications".
This Special Issue aims to showcase some of the latest research trends and advances in polymer nanocomposites.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Polymer–carbon nanocomposites;
- Polymer–clay nanocomposites;
- Polymer–silica nanocomposites;
- Celullose fiber nanocomposites.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
