Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to call for papers in this Special Issue of “Additive Manufacturing Technology of Polymeric Nanomaterials”. Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a kind of rapid prototyping technology and has been applied in various fields owing to its advantages of high manufacturing efficiency and low cost. Polymers were the first material applied in AM, and polymeric nanomaterials with a high strength-to-weight ratio and easy modification are still widely employed materials for AM. This Special Issue aims to provide an up-to-date works and reviews with potential topics including (but not limited to) the design of printing materials, the optimization of printing processes, post-processing, and the manufacturing of functional devices (e.g., sensors).

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.
