Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer nanofibers are polymer fibers with a diameter in the nanometer scale, and they have unique features, including a high specific surface area, high porosity, flexible mechanical properties, and ease of fabrication. Considerable research efforts have been devoted to developing nanofibers for different applications, including biomedical applications, separation, energy storage, and composite materials. Polymer nanofibers can be produced from both natural and synthetic polymers, using various strategies, such as interfacial polymerizations, electrospinning, physical or chemical treatment, and self-assembly. The preparation strategies of nanofiber significantly influence their properties and, thus, their applications.
For this Special Issue, we aim to present the recent research developments and provide a critical overview of the preparation of polymer nanofibers and their applications. Both original research papers and reviews related to this topic are 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.
