Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric hybrid materials have gained substantial attention in recent years due to their exceptional properties achieved through the integration of polymer matrices with functional organic molecules, inorganic materials, nanostructured compounds, bio-based fillers, responsive materials, etc. The resulting hybrid materials have demonstrated having outstanding physical and chemical properties, providing unique materials with the potential to overcome limitations in key enabling technologies such as micro- and nanoelectronics, nanotechnology, industrial biotechnology, advanced materials, photonics, and advanced manufacturing. Hybrid materials can therefore be considered as a new field within materials science, which can drive industrial innovation, addressing societal challenges and fostering advanced and sustainable economies.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Polymeric-Based Hybrid Materials and Their Applications”, will emphasize the synthesis, characterization, processing, and applications of potentially innovative polymeric hybrid materials.

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.
