Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue has a special focus on eco-friendly polymers, polymer composites, hybrid polymeric materials, nanocomposites, and blends and polymeric materials for sustainability.
This Special Issue will consider recent advancements in research and development in the synthesis, characterization, processing, morphology, structure, properties, and applications of advanced polymeric materials. Recent advances in the synthesis of polymeric materials by improving the interfaces (of inorganic/organic nature) using different fillers and coupling agents have shown strong potential to generate materials with better sustainability properties.
Fundamental advances in nanocomposite blends and nanostructured polymeric materials in environmental sustainability applications are highlighted in this issue.
This Special Issue aims to present original articles, reviews, short communications, research notes, analyses, and case studies on topics relating to advances in sustainable polymer materials.

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.
