Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers are a highly scientific and technologic product. They are a versatile type of material which is easy to mold into any required application. However, a single polymer cannot meet the requirements in advanced applications. Therefore, research has focused on polymer composites. Polymer composites are polymer materials with a reinforcement, and the compatibility between inorganic filers and polymer materials has an important influence on the properties of polymer composites. This Special Issue of Polymers invites contributions addressing several aspects of organic–inorganic hybrid materials such as the preparation of new organic–inorganic hybrid materials, new preparation methods for organic–inorganic hybrid materials, the study of the compatibility between inorganic filers and polymer materials, and the application of organic–inorganic hybrid materials. The above list is only indicative and by no means exhaustive; any original theoretical or research work or review article on organic–inorganic hybrid materials is welcome.

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.
