Polymer/Inorganic Nanocomposites

Call for Papers

The issue provides a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, English language articles on all aspects of polymer/inorganic nanocomposites that are industrial, semicommercial, and/or research-oriented. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles on the fundamental and applied science of polymer/inorganic nanocomposites. It encourages manuscripts reporting unique, innovative contributions to the physics, chemistry, materials science, and applied mechanics aspects of advanced polymer/inorganic nanocomposites. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Engineering polymer/inorganic nanocomposites (polymer/inorganic nanocomposites, polymer/inorganic blends, traditional fiber reinforced nanocomposites, etc.)
• Biorelated polymer/inorganic nanocomposites (biopolymers/inorganic nanocomposites, green polymers/inorganic nanocomposites, biodegradable polymers/inorganic nanocomposites, etc.)
• Applications of polymer/inorganic nanocomposites (construction polymer/inorganic nanocomposites, electronics and communications, leather and textile, surface coatings, packaging, etc.)
• Other areas (polymerization processes, environmentally friendly polymer/inorganic composites, advanced materials, polymer degradation and stabilization, synthetic and graft polymers/copolymers, polymer modifications, structure property relations, advanced manufacturing techniques, etc.)

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijps/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/ijps/pcomp/ according to the following timetable:
