Polymer Blends and Synthesis for the Fabrication of Nanocomposites

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the current state-of-the-art in polymer blends and synthesis for the fabrication of nanocomposites. The synergistic combination of new polymer synthesis and blends with a whole variety of nanomaterials leads to dramatic improvements in various properties, which enables new applications for polymeric materials. 

This Special Issue, “Polymer Blends and Synthesis for the Fabrication of Nanocomposites”, aims to be a collection of high-quality original/review papers highlighting recent progress in new preparations and applications of polymer-based nanocomposites, including (a) the synthesis of new polymers, (b) manufacturing processes of multidimensional nanocomposites (1D fibre, 2D film, and 3D architecture), and polymer-based nanocomposites for (c) heat management applications, (d) electromagnetic irradiation shielding, (e) sensors, (f) energy applications, (g) electronic applications, (h) environmental applications, (i) displays, and (j) self-healing applications.

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.
