Nanostructured Polymer Composites for Next-Generation Oilfield Technologies
This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Amid unprecedented rapid globalization accelerating the need for petroleum and gas, recovering enough oil and gas without advanced petroleum and gas exploration technology has become more difficult. Novel polymer and nanomaterials are urgently needed. Moreover, serious formation damage can be caused during the drilling and completion process without suitable pretreatment. To maintain stable oil and gas production, efficient formation protection measures must be taken; nanostructured polymer composites for next-generation oilfield technologies are important safeguards. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite contributions on the abovementioned topics.

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.
