Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are widely used in aviation, aerospace, defense, automobile and other industrial fields. Common CFRP components include plate, pipe and three-dimensional complex parts. Different from metal materials, CFRPs have advantages such as a strong designability, high flexibility and more forming methods. With the increasing requirements of high properties, including a long servicing life and high efficiency, the structural design and forming process of key CFRP components are facing great challenges. Original fiber, forming technology, bonding methods and servicing conditions have a significant impact on the structural design and manufacturing of CFRP composites, and so it is urgent to develop advanced CFRP technologies to meet the new requirements. Therefore, we propose to set up a Special Issue titled “Advance in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Structure” to publish articles concerning the design, numerical simulation, forming methods and industrial application of key CFRPs, so as to provide a centralized communication platform for relevant researchers, promoting the application of CFRPs in varying industries.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
