Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for high-performing polymer-based systems has continued to propel (and is still encouraging) both the academic and industrial communities toward the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel, advanced and sustainable materials that are suitable for application in demanding sectors (i.e., electrical engineering and electronics, advanced packaging, and flame retardance, among others). Considering this, we would like to propose a new Special Issue entitled “Hybrid O/I sol–gel-derived nanocomposites systems for advanced functional applications”, with the aim of collecting significant contributions from scientists working in the field of polymer research.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress and trends in the preparation, characterization, applications, processability, and sustainability of hybrid O/I systems. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the topics listed below. Contributions to this Special Issue can be full research articles, short communications, and reviews.

Dr. Aurelio Bifulco

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. Molecules 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.
