Characterizations, Properties, and Applications of Polymers with Graphene

Dear Colleagues,

In the past few years, graphene has found applications in many fields, from electronic to mechanics. This material has been used to make sensors and solar panels, to improve properties of materials, and for many other purposes. Of particular interest is the use of graphene with polymers, as the composites or compounds of graphene and plastics are being investigated in a huge number of applications. Graphene is being used to improve and/or change the properties of polymers, to add features, and to make sensors, just to cite some examples.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect a wide range of applications of graphene with polymers in order to have a reliable reference that may be useful for scientists, and potential users, such as industries. This Special Issue covers all the aspects concerning the use of graphene with polymers, such as materials characterization, investigation of new applications, new properties, devices mainly based on the use of polymers, thermal applications, composites, structural materials, sensors, etc. Both original contributions and reviews 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 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.
