Advanced Graphene-Based Composites

Dear Colleagues,

Graphene has been designated a “miracle material” owing to its combination of unprecedented properties such as high intrinsic mechanical strength, high electrical and optical features, high thermal conductivity and exceptionally high surface area. More recently, graphene-based multifunctional polymer composites have presented new opportunities in a wide range of applications such as catalysis, supercapacitors, membranes, energy storage, optoelectronic devices, aerospace and biomedicine. These advanced graphene-based multifunctional composites could constitute a fundamental and versatile building block of future technologies as we enter the post-carbon era.

In this context, it gives us great pleasure to edit this Special Issue on “Advanced Graphene-Based Composites”. This Special Issue will cover basic scientific and engineering aspects such as novel manufacturing approaches for graphene-based composites and their structural manipulation for a diverse range of applications, involving, but not limited to, pharmaceutical nanotechnology, tissue engineering, energy storage, water treatment, catalysis and optoelectronics.

We would like to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Short communications, full papers and reviews related to graphene-based composites are all welcome.

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.
