Polyurethane Composites: Properties and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Polyurethane is a class of organic polymer with unique properties such as high flexibility, superior adhesion, good elasticity, high impact and tensile strength, good weathering resistance, excellent gloss, color retention, and corrosion resistance properties. To further improve physicochemical properties, polyurethane composites are fabricated with additional fillers, and have been applied in fields of coatings, paints, fibers, adhesives, automotive, sensors, biomedical science, and civil construction.

This Special Issue will address synthesis, characterizations, and applications of innovative polyurethane composites with enhanced properties, such as explosion and impact resistance, anti-corrosive property, fire resistance, electric and thermal conduction, anti-bacterial, and self-healing performance.

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. 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.
