Flame Retarded Polymers and Composites

Dear Colleagues,

It has been observed that the demand for nonflammable polymeric materials has gradually increased in the past few decades. In recent years, more and more strategies such as the incorporation of phosphorus, halogen, alkyne, inorganic particles, intumescent systems, and so on have been developed to enhance the flame retardancy of polymeric materials. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we are going to focus on flame-retardant polymers and polymer composites with highly non-flammable properties.

This Special Issue welcomes polymeric flame-retardant materials and composites (or hybrids), new strategies (mechanism) for flame retardancy, and green materials and green chemistry for flame retardancy. Review and regular original papers are all 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
