3.Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer hybrid materials have attracted a great deal of attention, not only for their fascinating structural characterization, but also for their potential functional applications, including adsorption, separation, gas storage, catalysis, sensing, electronic devices, etc. Thus, investigations on multifunctional polymer hybrid materials constitute an important task for polymer science. 

Polymer hybrid materials generated via the combination of functional polymers with other nanostructured compounds, with the latter exhibiting size-dependent physical and chemical properties, have become a major area of research and technological development owing to the remarkable properties and multifunctionalities derived from their nanocomposites/nanohybrid structure. The polymer hybrid materials can not only have one or more specific functions, but also provide the ability to modulate the properties of the materials through the combination of the functional components.

This special issue includes a large scope of research based on polymer hybrid materials. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Polymer–inorganic nanoparticles hybrid materials;

• Polymer–organic nanoparticles hybrid materials;

• Polymer–polymer hybrid materials;

• Multifunctional polymer hybrid materials;

• The special structure of polymer hybrid materials;

• Polymer hybrid materials at the molecular level;

• Applications of polymer hybrid materials.

4.Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online atwww.mdpi.combyregisteringandlogging in to this website. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be 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 theInstructions for Authorspage.Polymersis an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit theInstructions for Authorspage before submitting a manuscript. TheArticle Processing Charge (APC)for publication in thisopen accessjournal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI'sEnglish editing serviceprior to publication or during author revisions.
