Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocomposite materials are composed of resin, rubber, ceramics, and metals, which act as the continuous phase, and nanoscale metals, semiconductors, rigid particles and other inorganic particles, fibers, carbon nanotubes, and other modifiers, which act as the dispersed phase. Through appropriate preparation methods, the modifiers are uniformly dispersed in matrix material to form a composite system containing nanoscale materials. This system of materials is called nanocomposite materials. Polymer materials, also known as polymer materials, have polymer compounds as the matrix and other additives (additives). Composite materials are widely used in aerospace, defense, transportation, sports and other fields due to their excellent comprehensive performance, especially their designability. Nanocomposites and polymer composites are the most attractive parts among them. It is particularly necessary to conduct research on the structures, properties, and applications of nanocomposites and polymer-based materials, as this will contribute to the development of advanced composite material technology.

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. 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.
