Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced composite materials and structures play a crucial role because they may provide lightweight, highly effective, and adaptable solutions for a variety of sectors. In particular, modern composite materials and structures are crucial for engineering applications. This helps to promote efficiency, sustainability, and technological innovation. Moreover, multifunctional composites are a promising avenue for the advancement of materials science and engineering, since they allow the creation of novel structures with improved functionality and performance for a range of applications.
Articles covering all areas of recent advances in science and technology in this multidisciplinary topic may be found in this Special Issue.
The subjects of interest are as follows:
- The physical, chemical, mechanical, and other properties of advanced composites, in addition to the materials that compose them.
- Composite materials that exhibit multiple functionalities beyond their primary structural role.
- Theoretical and experimental studies linking microscopic to macroscopic behavior.
- Testing and evaluation, with a focus on environmental effects and reliability.
- Innovative methods for creating different kinds of composites and creating structural components out of these materials.
- Design and analysis for particular applications.
It is anticipated that more research in this area will spur new developments and open up fresh possibilities for advanced and multifunctional composite materials across a range of sectors.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
