Multiphase Systems with Polymeric Matrices: Polymer Blends and Composites (3rd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

After the success of the first two editions of our Special Issue “Multiphase Systems with Polymeric Matrices: Polymer Blends and Composites”, we have decided to create a third volume to collect and publish state-of-the-art research in the field of polymer matrices, polymer blends, polymer composites, and their understanding. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit your scientific paper, either in the form of an original research paper, a communication, or a review article.

Any topic related to the title of the Special Issue will be considered for publication; examples of the scope of the papers are listed below:

• Polymer composites and blends aimed at achieving special unique properties;
• Polymer nanocomposites;
• Advanced technologies for the processing of multiphase systems, including reactive processing or procedures creating special morphologies;
• Chemical or physical modification of components and additives of multiphase systems;
• New achievements in the characterization of polymer composites and blends;
• Interactions on the phase boundaries in multicomponent systems, and their advances in compatibility control;
• Theory, simulation, and modeling of multiphase systems;
• Special properties of multiphase systems, e.g., electrical and thermal conductivity, biodegradability, optically unique materials, high-temperature-resistant materials, etc.;
• Medical applications of multiphase polymeric systems;
• Environmental aspects of the application of multiphase systems, including recycling, composting, etc.;
• Advanced applications of multiphase polymeric systems, e.g., in automotive, aviatics, food industry, packaging, etc.

The Open access journal Materials has a current Impact Factor of 3.1 and a 5-Year Impact Factor of 3.4 (2023), and ranks in Q1 and Q2 in the category of Condensed Matter Physics. It is indexed by WoS, Scopus, has citations available in PubMed, and is full-text archived in PubMed Central, as well as other databases.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
