Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based nanocomposites are attracting increasing interests from both scientific and engineering communities, with broad applications in various sectors like advanced electronics, robotics, aerospace, biomedical, and civil engineering. Numerous types of polymer and nanomaterials provide extensively large space for designing or tailoring nanocomposites with required performance in mechanics, electronics, thermal management and others. This special issue aims to bring together the recent advances in theoretical, computational and experimental advances in polymer-based nanocomposites, including innovative synthesis and processing techniques that bring unique properties, novel nanofillers enhancing the performance of polymer matrix, and efficient methods to simulate these complex systems. Novel applications of polymer-based nanocomposites are also welcomed.

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.
