Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your original research to this Special Issue of Polymers entitled, “Advances in Flame-Retardant and Heat-Resistant Polymeric Materials”. With the expansion of the application range of polymer materials, higher requirements are put forward for the fire safety of composite materials, the durability of flame retardants, the non-toxic and environmental protection of combustion smoke, and the heat resistance of composite materials in practical applications. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide an excellent opportunity to explore and publish articles related to the flame retardancy and heat resistance of polymer materials, including, but not limited to, related research on flame retardancy, smoke suppression, thermal protection, and heat resistance of polymer composites.
This Special Issue is open to researchers and authors who wish to submit research and review articles to explore experimental and numerical analysis in these fields. We encourage manuscripts containing scientific discoveries in a wide range of areas of polymer flame-retardant and heat-resistant materials.

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.
