Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel carbon materials include zero-dimensional carbon quantum dots, fullerenes, one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional graphene, and other related materials which have unique optical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, mechanical properties, and a large specific surface area. By compounding with polymers, the microstructure of the composites can be regulated to obtain excellent performance with broad application prospects in the fields of flexible electronics, biomedicine, energy storage, electromagnetic shielding, water treatment, etc.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and critical reviews on the most recent advancements in novel carbon-based polymer composites. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Polymer composites based on carbon quantum dots, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fiber, etc.
- Preparation and characterization of low-dimensional materials as polymer fillers.
- Structures, properties, and applications of novel carbon/polymer composites.
- Design and functionalization of multidimensional and multi-scale 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 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.
