Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of polymer-based nanocomposites in diverse fields such as energy storage, environmental remediation, and electrochemical sensing. Emphasis will be placed on hybrid systems involving conducting polymers, biopolymers, metal oxides, MXenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene derivatives that exhibit multifunctional properties. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, solid-state supercapacitors, structural energy storage devices, pollutant adsorption mechanisms, wastewater treatment materials, and the real-time sensing of hazardous chemicals. We welcome both experimental and theoretical studies that explore structure–property–performance correlations and that advance our understanding of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. Contributions that demonstrate novel fabrication techniques, sustainable material approaches, and scalable applications are especially encouraged.
Dr. Fouzia Mashkoor
Guest Editor
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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
