Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant attention has been paid to composite materials due to escalating concerns regarding the environment, performance, quality and so forth. It is clear that tailor-made materials that offer ecological efficiency, green chemistry, renewable resources, sustainable manufacturing, and high performance are key to the development of novel fabrication methods and processing and characterization techniques that offset the use of conventional composites.
We thus invite researchers to contribute original research and review articles that will enhance our basic knowledge of the subject and lead to the development of novel technologies and innovations in this field. We are particularly interested in articles that describe new or modified processes for the development/ production/characterization of composites materials.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Heitor Luiz Ornaghi Júnior

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. Journal of Composites Science 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 1800 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.
