Advances in Polymer Matrix Composites
This special issue belongs to the section “Polymeric Materials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The subject of polymer composites is one of the most interesting topics in the area of polymer science and technology; therefore, many researchers are studying these materials and developing new approaches to enhance the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and barrier properties of polymers. This Special Issue provides an opportunity for the scientific community to publish their findings with the aim to present the most promising research lines in the field. We welcome research papers and review articles covering the manufacturing and performance of polymer composites/nanocomposites for different applications.
Dr. Ali Reza Zanjanijam

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.
