Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the previous Special Issue of Polymers (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers/special_issues/3Y2277BO9J), we are delighted to launch a second edition of the Special Issue, now entitled “Advanced Research on the Thermal Properties and Flame Retardancy of Polymer Composites, 2nd Edition”.
The utilization of polymeric materials has made our daily life considerably more convenient in recent years. However, most polymeric materials possess a fatal drawback: high flammability. Therefore, an increasing number of countries are introducing laws and regulations to ensure that flame-retardant treatment is compulsory for the polymeric materials used in many fields.
This Special Issue titled “Advanced Research on the Thermal Properties and Flame Retardancy of Polymer Composites, 2nd Edition” focuses on novel flame retardants of polymers, the mechanisms and modes of action in the flame retardancy of polymers, the latest advances in current applications of flame-retardant polymeric materials, and the development of new methods for ecopolymeric materials or natural polymers.
We invite the research community to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting comprehensive reviews or original research articles.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
