Advanced Nano Polymer Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials have attracted global attention in recent decades and is still a main focus of research in various fields. Nano polymers are a category of nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties, such as a high specific surface area, very small molecular spacing, surface energy change, and chemical inertness, which indicates the potential of polymers to be used in various applications. However, the fundamentals of the mechanism and design of nano polymers must be fully exploited and utilized for improved functions and applications.

This Special Issue aims to publish a collection of cutting-edge original research articles and reviews relating to the most recent efforts in designs and applications of nano polymers in various fields, such as nanocomposites, energy harvesting, functional coating, soft sensors, intelligent elements, etc. Studies on the manufacturing and synthesis method for nano polymers and advances in the design of functional nanostructures based on polymers are also 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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
