Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute to the Special Issue on "Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials". As the demand for innovative materials with enhanced properties continues to grow, the scientific community plays a key role in advancing the understanding and development of composite and hybrid materials. This Special Issue aims to explore recent research centred around advanced composites and hybrid materials, addressing the challenges and opportunities that lie at the intersection of various disciplines.

The aim is to collate researchers and experts in the field of composite materials, showcasing their latest findings and advancements. We aim to create a comprehensive collection of articles encompassing the diverse aspects of advanced composite and hybrid materials, bridging the gap between theory and application and fostering a deeper understanding of these materials and their potential across various industries.

In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Phase-field models of composite materials, including metal–matrix composites;
• Structural analyses of composite laminates and sandwiches;
• Composites in MEMS and NEMS;
• Nonlocal analysis of composites;
• Experimental analysis of composites at different scales, from nano to large scales;
• Innovative fabrication techniques for advanced composites;
• Multiscale modeling and simulation of composite materials;
• Characterization and testing of hybrid materials;
• Sustainable composite materials.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
