Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer–metal hybrid materials have attracted considerable interest due to their potential applications in advanced technologies, such as adsorption, separation, gas storage, antistatic coatings, electrochemical displays, sensors, catalysis, redox capacitors, electromagnetic shielding, and secondary batteries.
Polymer–metal hybrid materials have become a significant research area due to their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties derived from their hybrid structure.
An understanding of the interactions between the polymer matrix and metallic filler is essential for the technological implementation of the synthesis and engineering of hybrid structures with various dimensionalities, collective properties at the micro/nanoscale, and predictive physical and mechanical responses to the polymer–filler interface.
This Special Issue includes an enormous scope of research based on polymer–metal hybrid materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Polymer–inorganic metal hybrid materials;
- Polymer–metal–organic framework (MOF) hybrid materials;
- Multifunctional polymer–metal hybrid materials;
- The special structure of polymer–metal hybrid materials;
- Polymer hybrid materials at the molecular level;
- Applications of polymer–metal hybrid 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.
