Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, exciting achievements have been made in dielectric polymer composites, which are anticipated to be the material of choice to meet the booming demands in power delivery, renewable energy, electrification transportation and electronics. When doping with various fillers, polymer composite dielectrics are expected to possess extraordinarily enhanced performances (e.g., dielectric strength, dielectric constant and thermal conductivity), stability under extreme conditions (e.g., high temperature, high electric field and strong radiation), long life expectancy, multifunctionalities (e.g., ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, electrocaloric effect and triboelectricity), as well as smart behaviors (e.g., self-healing, self-diagnosis and self-assembling.).
This Special Issue is devoted to the most recent research on these topics, covering all the aspects concerning the theory, characteristics and application of dielectric polymer composites.

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.
