Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research in carbon nanomaterial-reinforced polymer nanocomposites, encompassing graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon quantum dots, and emerging carbon allotropes. We invite contributions covering innovative synthesis methodologies, structure–property relationships, and multifunctional applications spanning electronics, energy storage, sensors, and biomedical devices. Topics include novel processing techniques, interfacial engineering, mechanical reinforcement, electrical/thermal conductivity enhancement, and environmental applications. Both experimental and computational studies are welcome, emphasizing scalable manufacturing approaches and real-world implementation strategies. This collection aims to bridge fundamental materials science with practical engineering solutions, advancing the field toward next-generation polymer nanocomposites with tailored functionalities for emerging technologies.

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).
