Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocomposites have shown outstanding performance in different areas and have therefore received remarkable attention due to their exceptional assets, characteristic behavior, and broad range of applications in different areas, particularly in medical, food, cosmetics, packaging, and the environment. These widespread applications of nanocomposites have motivated scientists all over the world to advance materials with innovative properties that cannot be met by conventional materials. Advancement of nanocomposites is a growing area and has seen markedly increased interest in recent years due to the great potential associated with this new generation of extraordinary materials. Nanocomposites possess customized assets and incomparable behaviors appropriate for a large variety of applications. These substances have extraordinary properties and are capable of different applications in a variety of areas and a generous range of useful applications. These properties are accountable for the grand progress in the many assets of polymers. In the field of composites research, different materials have been used in hopes of exploiting the unique properties of their conventional constituents, which are not obtained in one component by itself.
It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue on the topic of “Smart Nanocomposites for Multiple Applications” in numerous fields of high importance. We welcome papers from multiple research fields, including novel composite synthetic routes and their applications in medical, environmental, catalytic, sensors and energy storage devices, etc.

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).
