Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and applications of conductive polymer composites in the fields of energy storage and biosensors. Conductive polymer composites have gained significant attention due to their unique electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility combination. They hold immense potential for revolutionizing energy storage technologies, such as batteries and supercapacitors, as well as enabling the development of high-performance biosensors for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Synthesis and characterization of conductive polymer composites;
- Conductive fillers and their impact on composite properties;
- Novel fabrication techniques and strategies;
- Electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of conductive polymer composites;
- Energy storage applications, including batteries, supercapacitors, and energy harvesting;
- Biosensors and bioelectrodes based on conductive polymer composites;
- Biocompatibility and biofunctionalization of composite materials;
- Performance optimization and scalability of conductive polymer composite devices;
- Challenges and future directions in the field.
We invite researchers, academicians, and industry professionals to contribute original research articles, review articles, and perspectives to this Special Issue. By bringing together the latest research findings, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in conductive polymer composites for energy storage and biosensor applications.

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.
