Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reinforcement of materials using carbon nanoparticles is gaining attention in both industrial and academic research. These composite materials with improved and novel properties are finding potential applications across diverse domains, including the biomedical, electrical, aerospace, drug delivery, and automotive industries. The ability to tailor properties using the minimum amount of carbon nanoparticles to achieve unique or desirable properties is opening up a new range of applications, which were previously undreamt of. However, when it comes to bulk production of carbon nanoparticles, the synthesis and uniform dispersion of these nanoparticles are equally challenging.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to explore the most recent research articles and reviews that cover all the aspects of synthesis and application of carbon nanocomposites.

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.
