Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal management fiber materials (TMFMs) represent a pivotal advancement in material science, playing a critical role in a wide array of applications. These materials are engineered to control the transfer and dissipation of heat, making them essential in various industries, from electronics and aerospace to textiles and building construction. The efficient management of heat is crucial for enhancing energy efficiency, improving the performance and longevity of devices, and ensuring comfort and safety in diverse environments. Advanced TMFMs often incorporate novel microscale and nanoscale materials to achieve the desired thermal properties. Techniques such as electrospinning and nanocomposite integration allow for precise control over fiber morphology and composition. Materials like carbon fibers, phase-change materials (PCMs), and aerogels are commonly used to create TMFMs with tailored thermal characteristics. In this Special Issue, we would like to collect both review and research articles on TMFM synthesis, functionalization, and various applications.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
