Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer and composite materials have found extensive applications in the fields of electric power, electronics, and new energy vehicles, among others. The future development of polymers and composites is currently focused on their characterization, measurement, and electrical properties. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the demand for novel high-performance polymer-based materials, driven by the requirements of new energy power systems and electric vehicles.
It is essential to further summarize and discuss the polymer materials with high performance, particularly focusing on the fundamental research and advancements in the characterization and measurement of electrical properties. Despite numerous employed methods, such as SEM, TEM, and AFM for microstructure analysis, studies on electrical and optical performances remain highly relevant. Many research groups extensively investigate nanocomposites with interface morphology, material aging, degradation, and breakdown in great detail. The emergence of new operating conditions like high temperature and multi-frequency electric strength necessitates well-defined materials with newly developed methods and phenomena.
This Special Issue focuses on polymer and composite materials that have excellent electrical performance, as well as advanced methods for short- and long-term operations. The list of keywords provided below provides a general description of the topics covered, which can be helpful in preparing your submission. However, manuscripts related to this field are welcome even if they do not include these specific keywords.

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.
