Special Issue Information
Polymeric composite materials have fascinating applications in multiple sectors due to their improved physico-chemical properties. In recent years, there has been an emerging interest in the development of polymer-based nanocomposites in order to achieve desired properties in line with required applications. Reinforced polymeric nanocomposites with metals, metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, graphene, carbon nanotubes, clay, fibers, etc. exhibit improved opto-electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties owing to their distinct interfacial properties and hence they are utilized for applications in various fields.
This Special Issue considers the fabrication and characterization of emerging polymeric nanocomposites which are explored for various applications in bio-medicine, catalysis, bio-devices, sensors, fuel cells, environmental remediation, membrane technology, tissue/bone-engineering, and drug delivery vehicles with the objective of sharing the recent advanced trends of different polymeric nanocomposite materials and their perspectives for the future.

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.
