Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The consumption of polymer materials is ever-increasing in our daily lives and society. Various types of polymers and functional fillers are mixed together to meet high-standard application requirements. The interfacial interaction between polymer matrices and fillers plays a vital role in the mechanical properties, rheological performance, crystallization, and thermal stability of polymer materials. To improve interfacial compatibility, surface modification and functional additives, like silane agents and compatibilizers, have been adopted. The aim of this issue is to collect research papers, communications, and review articles with original contributions to the development, production, testing, and modeling of polymer materials, with a special focus on interfacial compatibility and its effects on the physical and chemical properties of polymer composites.

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.
