Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is contributing to one of the most promising fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The novel concept of advances in functional polymer nanocomposites can be applied to a wide range of science and technology areas from materials to bioscience. Depending on the application, the chemical composition of functional polymer nanocomposites can be used to tailor the physical, mechanical and thermal properties. The functionalities of polymer composites can also be manipulated to fabricate novel polymer nanocomposites. Hence, the addition or encapsulation of functional nanomaterials like CNT, graphene and clay can produce highly sophisticated functional nanocomposites for high-end applications.
This Special Issue focuses on functional polymeric and polymer nanocomposite materials for structural, electroconductive, pressure sensing, gas sensing and catalytical conversion applications and aims to demonstrate researchers’ ability to design, synthesize and manufacture functional polymer-based nanomaterials that focus the future challenges in various field.

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.
