Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The textile field has been in constant evolution since its emergence. Originally, human beings needed clothing to protect themselves from the external environment. The development of synthetic polymers and the associated techniques for manufacturing fibers (melt spinning, solvent spinning, electrospinning, etc.), mass (polymer blends, addition of microcapsules, nanocomposites, etc.) or surface functionalization (coating, printing, etc.) have made multifunctional textiles become the norm and have widened their field of application to include areas as varied as sport, health, well-being, etc. The aim of this Special Issue is to cover the multifunctional polymeric materials (additives such as microcapsules, colorants and dyeing, aftertreatment such as coating, development of synthetic fiber, etc.) dedicated for textile uses along all these life steps: synthesis, processing, characterization (chemical and/or physical), etc. We would welcome contributions dealing with related research fields both for growing applications such as smart textiles (sensors, energy harvesting, etc.) and for more traditional applications (fire retardant, antibacterial, etc.). As environmental aspects are one of the major concerns of the textile industry, these contributions will also be welcome in this Special Issue.

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.
