Multifunctional Hybrid Materials Based on Polymers: Design and Performance

This special issue belongs to the section “Materials Processes“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Multifunctional hybrid materials based on polymers have already displayed excellent commitment in addressing and presenting solutions to existing demands in priority areas such as the environment, human health, and energy. These hybrid materials can lead to unique superior multifunction materials with a broad range of envisaged applications. However, their design, performance, and practical applications are still challenging. Thus, it is highly advantageous to provide a breakthrough in state-of-the-art manufacturing and scale-up technology to design and synthesize advanced multifunctional hybrid materials based on polymers with improved performance.

The main objective of this interdisciplinary Special Issue of Processes is to bring together, at an international level, high-quality elegant collection of reviews, original articles, and short communications dealing with polymeric hybrid materials within different areas such as the following:

  • Biomaterials chemistry, physics, engineering, and processing
  • Polymer chemistry, physics, engineering, and processing
  • Organic chemistry
  • Composites science
  • Colloidal chemistry and physics
  • Porous nanomaterials science
  • Energy storage
  • Automotive and aerospace manufacturing

All the articles submitted to the Special Issue will undergo a thorough review process. This editorial will interest the broadest possible section of readership among materials scientists and engineers.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
