Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Polymers, titled "Inorganic Filler-Based Polymeric Composites for Enhanced Mechanical and Thermal Properties", aims to present the latest advancements in the design, synthesis, and characterization of polymer composites reinforced with inorganic fillers. The incorporation of inorganic materials such as silica, alumina, carbonates, metal oxides, layered silicates, and hybrid nanoparticles into polymer matrices has proven to be an effective strategy for enhancing mechanical strength, thermal stability, dimensional integrity, and functional performance.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and reviews that explore filler surface modification, interfacial interactions, dispersion techniques, and processing innovations that contribute to performance improvements. Contributions addressing structure–property relationships, modeling, and application-oriented studies, including those relevant to automotive, aerospace, electronics, energy, and packaging, are highly encouraged.
By bringing together interdisciplinary studies in materials science, polymer chemistry, and nanotechnology, this Special Issue aims to offer valuable insights into the development of next-generation polymer composites with superior multifunctional properties.

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.
