Carbon Materials Modified Polymeric Composites

Carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, activated carbon, and graphite have been used as energy materials because of their exclusive properties. These materials can be used in drug delivery, electronics, composite materials, sensors, field emission devices, energy storage and conversion thanks to their outstanding chemical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. The combination of carbon-based nanomaterials and polymers is very important for engineering applications because of the good thermo-mechanical properties of the composites. The properties of carbon–polymer composites are enhanced as a result of the interaction between the polymer matrix and the reinforcing nanofiller. These carbon–polymer composites have been used in lightweight crafts, energy storage devices, conductive glue, sensors, gas storage devices, and for defense purposes.

This Special Issue invites manuscripts reporting on the synthesis, characterization, physico-chemical properties, and applications of filler–polymer composites. Research articles, reviews, and communications are welcomed.
