Special Issue Information
This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous, successful Special Issue "Advance in Polymer Composites: Fire Protection and Thermal Management".
We are pleased to invite you to submit your original research to this Polymers Special Issue entitled “Advances in Polymer Composites: Fire Protection and Thermal Management”. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an excellent opportunity for publishing the latest advances in all aspects of research related to the fire protection, fire retardancy, thermal stability, and thermal management of polymer composites. This Special Issue is open to researchers and authors who wish to submit their research and review articles exploring experimental and numerical analyses in those fields. We encourage authors to send manuscripts containing scientific findings within the broad fields of the fire protection and thermal management of polymer composites.

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.
