Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based polymer nanocomposites are characterized by low density, design flexibility, ease of processing, and excellent performance enhancement at low filler loadings. Therefore, they are expected to be used in aerospace applications, seawater desalination and purification, energy conversion and storage, the automotive industry, medical and electronic devices, and other emerging materials.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in carbon-based polymer research, including but not limited to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and carbon fibers (CNFs). Original contributions and comments are welcome. Particular attention will be paid to the following topics:
- Carbon-fiber-reinforced materials;
- Carbon nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanofibers for polymers;
- Functionalized structures for graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and polymers;
- Porous carbon materials and carbon–carbon composites as polymer fillers;
- Conductive and thermal-conductive polymer composite materials of carbon materials;
- Electrocatalysis of carbon materials；
- Carbon materials for energy saving.

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.
