Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) which, in comparison with neat polymers, exhibit improved characteristics such as higher mechanical strength, fracture toughness, wear, creep, thermal stability and low weight, to name a few. In addition, Fiber Reinforced Polymers are known as multipurpose materials extensively used in advanced applications due to their excellent properties, as follows: ability to reflected in long-term cost saving, low production time, high durability, and relatively easy processability. The usage of a relatively wide combination of polymer matrices and incorporated fibers (glass, carbon, aramid, etc.) creates a possibility for tailor-made products fulfilling specific requirements. This opens new possibilities for the application of FRPs in various branches of industry and simultaneously stimulates corresponding basic research.
The Special Issue aims to collect the most recent advances in the multifaceted world of fiber-reinforced composites. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. The original contributions and reviews based on both purely basic research and practical applicability are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Petr Filip

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.
