Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Conductive Polymer Nanocomposites: From Synthesis to Applications”, invites high-quality contributions from the global research community. Aligned with the journal's core scope in advanced nanoscience and nanomaterials, this Special Issue will bridge fundamental synthesis and practical application. Conductive polymer nanocomposites represent a pivotal class of interdisciplinary materials that merge the flexibility, processability, and structural tunability of conjugated polymers (e.g., polyaniline, polypyrrole) with the superior electrical, mechanical and functional properties of nanoscale fillers, including nanoparticles, nanofibers, and 2D nanosheets.
Moreover, rapid progress in flexible electronics, energy storage, smart sensing, biomedical engineering and electromagnetic shielding has outpaced the capabilities of traditional conductive materials to meet modern demands for tunable conductivity, stability and scalable production. This Special Issue will bridge fundamental research and industrial translation by compiling original research articles, reviews and short communications, which cover the full lifecycle of these nanocomposites, i.e., from controlled, green, scalable synthesis routes and nanoscale interface engineering to structural characterization, property optimization and real-world application development.
Its core objectives are as follows: (i) to highlight breakthroughs in synthesis and fabrication mechanisms; (ii) to clarify structure–property and charge–transport relationships at the nanoscale; (iii) to showcase innovative applications across energy, biomedical, and environmental fields. We welcome submissions covering novel synthetic strategies, nanoscale design, interface modification, stability, theoretical simulations and industrial applied performance validation. By gathering cutting-edge research from the global community, this Special Issue will advance the field and accelerate the practical deployment of conductive polymer nanocomposites, publishing impactful, peer-reviewed research on functional nanomaterials.

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.
