Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured polymers are generally reported as nanoscale polymers or polymer composites containing nanomaterials, and have become in the past few years the materials of choice for the design of new electrochemical devices. These materials combine structural versatility and functionality with mechanical strength that can be tailored to meet the needs of the target application.
This Special Issue aims to give an overview of recent developments in nanostructured polymeric materials and composites in connection with their application as new materials for advanced electrochemical devices, which include energy conversion and storage devices (batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical capacitors), chemical sensors, optoelectronic devices, and biomedical applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to significant new findings related to the synthesis, nanoscale properties and morphology, performance, and technological applications of novel nanopolymeric materials and componentry for such devices. Authors are welcome to submit their latest research in the form of original full articles, short communications, or reviews on this topic.

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.
