Hybrid Nanocomposite-Containing Polymers for Advanced Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites containing polymers have played a crucial role in various fields such as drug delivery, biomedicine, environment, catalysis, energy, etc. Facile and controllable synthesis of these materials is cutting-edge technology to develop next-generation devices with potential applications. Green approaches for nanocomposite production also provide additional advantages for the applicability of nanomaterials in industrial products. In addition, hybrid nanocomposites bring the necessity of further research to design new materials for multifunctional applications in the future. This Special Issue focuses on special progress in inorganic/polymer nanocomposites and covers the fields of biology, catalysis, environment, energy, and sensors. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that are related to both fundamentals and application. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to (1) the fabrication and characterization of polymer nanocomposites, (2) nanocomposites for biology and drug delivery, (3) nanocomposites for sensor applications, (4) heterogeneous catalysts for organic reaction, (5) photocatalysts for environmental treatment, and (6) organic/inorganic nanocomposites for electronic devices.

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.
