Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MXenes are emerging 2D materials that find wide applications in energy, biomedical, sensing, environmental remediation, and many more fields. Materials based on MXenes (2D transition metal carbides and/or carbonitrides)show exceptional structural properties, such as active sites, chemical stability, large interlayer spacing, high surface area, and affinity to bind with other materials. On the other hand, polymeric materials show high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and processability. Mxene-based materials show some drawbacks which could be taken care of by making composites with polymeric materials. The goal of this Special Issue is to cover recent developments in Mxene-based polymeric composites for many advanced applications. High-quality original research and review articles on topics such as energy generation and storage, sensors, biomedicals, environmental remediation, etc. are welcome to this Special Issue.
Dr. Ram K. Gupta

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
