Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in research on polymeric nanocomposites, focusing on synthesis, characterization, and multifaceted applications, harnessing innovative synthesis techniques. The applications of polymeric nanocomposites are wide-ranging and impactful. Biomedical applications include drug delivery for precision therapy and 3D-printed scaffolds for regenerative medicine. In the environmental realm, polymeric nanocomposite films/membranes contribute to water purification and pollutant removal. Moreover, industrial applications encompass coatings, sensors, and additive manufacturing.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and reviews that delve into the diverse aspects of polymeric nanocomposites. Topics of interest include:
- Novel synthesis strategies and design principles for polymeric nanocomposites
- Advances in characterizing nanocomposites structures and properties
- Responsive and functional nanocomposites for biomedical and environmental applications
- Industrial implementations and technological innovations utilizing polymeric nanocomposites
We welcome contributions that will not only deepen our understanding of polymeric nanocomposites but also inspire novel applications across disciplines. This collection of work promises to foster collaboration, stimulate further research, and accelerate the translation of polymeric nanocomposite research into real-world solutions.

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.
