Polymer Nanocomposite Processing, Characterization, and Applications 2012

I would like to call your attention to a special Issue (focus) on "Polymer Nanocomposite Processing, Characterization, and Applications" scheduled to be published in the Journal of Nanomaterials in September 2012. For the third time a special issue of the Journal of Nanomaterials will be devoted to emerging polymer nanocomposite processing techniques and call for new contributions in the field of characterization and applications of multifunctional nanocomposites. The Call for Papers can also be viewed at the journal website athttp://www.hindawi.com/journals/jnm/si/952802/cfp/. The deadline for manuscript submission is May 4, 2012.

Please note that the Journal of Nanomaterials is an open access journal, which means that all published articles are made freely available online without a subscription, and authors retain the copyright of their work. The articles of Journal of Nanomaterials are indexed in the major abstracting and indexing databases, and the journal currently has an impact factor of 1.675 according to Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Scientific (ISI) in 2011.
