Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer nanocomposites have been extensively studied alongside nano-additives, among which carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the most utilized nanomaterials for modifying and improving the mechanical, material, electromagnetic, electrical and performance properties of polymer materials. They extend their application to automotive, aerospace, military and medical use. CNTs have not only been used in polymers, but hybrid CNTs have been combined with other types of C-based nano-scaled materials of graphene, such as C-QDs. They enhance the effect of adding CNTs into polymers for geometrical sculpturing (3-D networks) and surface decoration. Moreover, the use of green CNTs can establish green-deal-based manufacturing of polymer nanocomposites. Thus, we invite the submission of research articles and reviews on the use of CNTs in polymer materials in the form of single or hybrid combinations with other C-based nanomaterials for the manufacture of (multi)functional polymer nanocomposites.

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.
