Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer grid composites are broadly discovering applications in the aviation, vehicles, and games division. The graphene of different structures has amazing mechanical properties, which makes it theoretically a decent fortification in polymer framework composites to enhance the thermal, electrical, mechanical, and optical properties of the polymers. Graphene-Reinforced Polymer Composites are focused on novel routes to develop and characterize graphene-reinforced functional polymer composites. Graphene prepared via the chemical vapor deposition approach, exfoliation method, epitaxial growth, and wet-chemistry approach are all encouraged. Polymers such as epoxy, PS, polyaniline, polyurethane, poly (vinylidene fluoride), Nafion, polycarbonate, PET, and so on are all suitable. The functions and efficiency of various graphene/polymer functional composites are also focusing on the polymer source of adsorption materials, the application of catalytic materials in chemical reactions, the pore size characteristics of separation materials (low permeability, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration), and the use (tissue engineering and medical materials) of biomedical materials.

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). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
