Polymers, Multifunctional Nanomaterials, and Composites

Dear Colleagues,

The study of modern materials with specific properties for advanced applications is now a fast-growing part of science and technology. Polymers, multifunctional nanomaterials, and composites have been demonstrated to be applicable in a range of technologies due to their special physical, chemical, and functional properties. Such materials are used in many applications, ranging from advanced research systems used in engineering, medicine, and environmental protection to devices used in everyday life. Therefore, extensive research efforts have been devoted to developing these materials in terms of their synthesis, engineering, functionalization, and applications.

This Special Issue, entitled “Polymers, Multifunctional Nanomaterials, and Composites” aims to present the state-of-the-art and recent advances in the field of these materials’ properties and applications, including (but not limited to):

• the preparation and characterization of new polymer materials;
• the modification of polymeric and ceramic membranes;
• structural and optical properties of thin films, nanostructures, and nanomaterials;
• applications of multifunctional materials; and
• computational modeling of nanomaterials, polymers, and composites.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers, review articles, and short communications for this Special Issue. Both experimental and theoretical contributions are welcome.

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-anonymized 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.
