Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional polymer composites are making significant strides in design, synthesis, processing, and promising applications. By using suitable fillers and matrices to create new and attractive properties, functional polymer composites can meet the most difficult standards of users, especially in high-tech industries. Functional polymer composites are crucial to the development of new cutting-edge technologies, especially in the fourth industrial revolution. From this point of view, the importance of a systematic understanding of the fundamental physical relationship between nanoscale structural variables and macroscopic properties of polymer composites is highlighted. Hence, structure–property–processing relationships are crucial for their future development as innovative advanced polymer composite systems. Advances in functional polymer composites will promote human welfare by creating new solutions and materials to overcome global energy and environmental crises.
This Special Issue will cover recent advances concerning structure, property, processing, as well as promising applications of advanced polymer composites. Submitted manuscripts will be fast-track reviewed. Research articles, review articles, perspectives, and communications and letters are also invited.

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.
