Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers are classically recognized as insulating materials due to their low electrical and thermal conductivity, and therefore, are inappropriate to use in different practical applications. On the contrary, they are highly appreciated for their lightness, cost-effectiveness, ease of processing, corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio. The recent developments in advanced polymers are based on nanotechnology. In particular, the introduction in polymer matrices of carbon-based fillers has been effective at improving the thermal and electrical conductivity of the resulting materials and their mechanical properties. However, despite the promising achievements made thus far, the desired results have still not been fully achieved due to a lot of factors (the aspect ratio of filler, polarization at the interface, and more) which affect the overall final properties of the resulting materials. Future experimental investigation and theoretical and computational studies on carbon-based nanocomposites are encouraged to add to our knowledge and achieve new goals.
The forthcoming Special Issue, “Advances in Thermo-Electric and Mechanical Properties of Carbon-Based Polymer”, aims to collect the latest academic findings in this field.
As a renowned scientist in this topic, you are invited to submit a short communication, full paper, or review to enrich this Special Issue

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.
